Description (excerpt):
A growing number of countries are embracing ambitious commitments to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the near-term. To prevent emissions and job leakage to countries with less stringent regulatory regimes, several Western governments are exploring trade mechanisms that would charge a fee or tax at the border on goods made more carbon intensively than their own. Growing interest across Group of Seven (G7) countries to explore this option creates opportunities to reach a common approach to climate and trade policy making.
