The European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a proposed policy intended to address the issue of carbon leakage and ensure that the EU’s ambitious climate goals are not undermined by imports of goods with a high carbon footprint. The CBAM aims to reduce carbon emissions and protect European industries by imposing tariffs on certain imported products based on their carbon content.

In the case of Turkey, which has a significant trade relationship with the EU, the CBAM could have substantial effects. Turkey is not part of the EU, but it has a customs union with the EU, which means it’s deeply integrated into the European market. Turkish exporters may face challenges in adapting to the CBAM requirements and ensuring the carbon efficiency of their products.
