Starting from 2026, the mechanism will enter full implementation phase. This is the worlds first carbon border tax. The EU aims to prevent carbon leakage, ensuring polluting industries do not relocate to less regulated regions. The policy faces international trade challenges. WTO members may challenge this approach. Nevertheless, the EU approach is widely viewed as an innovative response to climate change.
