Description
The European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a ground-breaking policy tool designed to address carbon leakage and create a level playing field for EU industries subject to the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). As the CBAM is set to be phased in from 2023, businesses must understand its implications and the vital role that Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) plays in its implementation.

This event provides an in-depth exploration of the CBAM and its relationship to LCA, covering:

The fundamentals of the CBAM, including its objectives, scope, and timeline for implementation.
The differences and similarities between CBAM and the UK version, UK CBAM.
The role of LCA in determining the carbon footprint of imported goods and ensuring fair and accurate carbon pricing under the CBAM.
Case studies demonstrating how LCA is being applied to assess the carbon footprint of products subject to the CBAM, such as cement, aluminium, and electricity.
Strategies for businesses to prepare for the CBAM and integrate LCA into their compliance and reporting processes.
Policy insights and updates on the evolving CBAM landscape and its potential impact on global trade and carbon pricing initiatives.
