We've been talking about carbon border adjustment mechanisms — CBAMs — since the earliest days of our carbon pricing advocacy.

Here's a blog post from 2023 that goes a little deeper into this policy idea and its potential impact in the United States:

EU CBAM enters new phase, further advancing carbon pricing
The EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism, or CBAM, entered a new phase on Oct. 1. The policy encourages other countries to decarbonize.

Carbon border adjustment mechanisms (CBAMs) are powerful climate policies.

Analysis from @rff.org projects that in this CBAM design, emissions would "decrease globally by 81 million metric tons in the first year" with even greater reductions over time.

We’ve built strong momentum this year, but to match the influence of well-resourced corporate lobbyists, we need to close this final gap now.

If you have been thinking about making a year-end gift, this is the moment when it will matter most!

We are an evidence-based, science-backed organization. Our Research team and Government Relations team have done the homework. This bill is not perfect, and we would like to see far more attention to this issue in the future, but it's a great first step to increasing wildfire resilience.
