英文摘要 | This is Third Generation Environmentalism (E3G)’s submission to the UK Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) enquiry into Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms (CBAMs). E3G is pleased to note and provide feedback on the EAC’s enquiry into CBAMs. Our feedback in this response focuses on the first 9 questions included in the terms of reference and builds on E3G’s long-standing experience working on climate policy, politics and diplomacy. E3G recognises that a CBAM can level the playing field between the UK and foreign producers by imposing the same carbon costs on certain goods and products being sold on the UK market, regardless of whether they are produced domestically or imported from abroad. While a risk of carbon leakage exists, to date there has been little to no empirical evidence of carbon leakage in the UK. Energy-intensive industries have received generous amounts of free emissions trading system (ETS) allowances to mitigate this risk. This has led to overprotection, in some instances, generated windfall profits, while muting the carbon price signal and decarbonisation incentives for highly polluting industrial sectors. Any future UK policy aimed at addressing the risk of carbon leakage should be limited and targeted, drawing lessons from these past mistakes. Key recommendations
