Episode #18 - Carbon pricing at the border: CBAM
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism forms a key part of the European Green Deal, but what does it actually do and how have other countries responded to it?
Simon Otto joins us in this episode to share his insights on the functioning of carbon pricing at the border, how it is perceived and how it is affected by the current turbulence in the world.
To learn more about CBAM, you read Simon’s latest article on "The external impact of EU climate policy: political responses to the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism". It’s available open access!

About the podcast series
The von der Leyen I Commission set out to put the EU on a pathway toward a sustainable, low-carbon future with the launch of the European Green Deal. However, the Green Deal quickly found itself in rough waters as the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine risked derailing it all.
To help you understand what the EU aimed at doing in the European Green Deal, how it is impacted by changing times, and what we can expect from the second von der Leyen Commission, GreenDeal-NET created a How Green Deal? In 20- to 30-minute episodes, host and researcher Jana Gheuens talks with leading climate experts about their views on the EU's climate transition. Topics include everything from carbon pricing, the role of climate activism and NGOs, to how to integrate climate action in all the EU’s policy measures.
