This first episode of Re-thinking Europe focuses on a green trade regulation to be implemented at the EU level, namely the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism - or EU CBAM.
Featuring Maria Elena Scoppio, Director of Indirect Taxation at DG TAXUD, we discuss the ins and outs of this regulation: Is the EU CBAM an effective tool in the fight against climate change? What opportunities does it create for businesses, and why is it being criticized? How might the implementation of the CBAM affect trading partners in the Global South? As you listen to this episode, you will also have the chance to meet Sara Svensson, a young policy analyst, and discover her background, interests, perspectives and reasons that led her to work on climate and trade policies.
