- Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a proposed tax by the European Union on energy-intensive products imported from countries like India and China
- A report by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) claims that CBAM will impose a 25% tax on carbon-intensive goods exported from India to the EU
- Developing countries are concerned that CBAM will harm their economies and make trading with the EU too expensive
- Critics argue that CBAM unfairly penalizes the Global South and overlooks historical emissions from the Global North
- CSE recommends a counter-tax on rich countries responsible for climate change and implementing a domestic carbon tax to support decarbonization efforts in India.
