This high-level event, organized by CISL Brussels and supported by Microsoft, explores how trade policies, particularly Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms (CBAMs), can support decarbonisation. It also discusses alternatives like climate conditions in trade agreements and 'Carbon clubs'.

The event launches the new report, ‘On the Borderline: The EU CBAM and its place in the world of trade’. This independent analysis assesses CBAM opportunities, barriers, and feasibility, contributing to the ongoing debate on the EU’s CBAM proposal and trade’s role in climate policy.

Held at COP26, a CISL event at Scottish Power's Glasgow Headquarters synthesized key messages, insights, and actions from the summit, examining their implications for business and finance. Experts in climate science, policy, business, and finance discussed reactions to the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report, progress on the Paris Agreement, and remaining policy challenges.

Sessions explored translating policy statements into business metrics and targets, including technology and R&D needs for decarbonization and adaptation. The event also addressed capital and risk-sharing systems for a resilient, just transition, aligning net-zero commitments, and their impact on the financial sector. It concluded by reflecting on these outcomes for leaders across all timeframes.
