Looking ahead: what are the future developments in carbon border adjustments?

Niskanen’s Deputy Director of Climate Policy, Shuting Pomerleau, presented her research findings that the U.S. falls into the middle of the pack globally in terms of low-carbon industry. She discussed why it is crucial for the U.S. to implement a border-adjusted carbon tax instead of standalone carbon tariffs.

Following the presentation, Alex Flint moderated a panel discussion with Shuting, Max Gruenig, and Barry Rabe to discuss the latest developments of carbon border adjustments globally – as well as the legislative landscape in the U.S. They also discussed the outlook of climate policies in the U.S.
