Expert Webinar - From trade frictions to green cooperation: unpacking the EU CBAM's implications for China
Join us for an exclusive, expert-led webinar exploring the multi-dimensional impacts of the EU CBAM on China. Bringing together leading European and Chinese climate, trade, and industrial policy researchers, this session will translate qualitative and quantitative science into actionable insights, providing a holistic view of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
- Industrial and trade impacts: We will discuss how the CBAM could influence economic sectors, reshape international trade boundaries, and impact China's export competitiveness on the global stage.
- Strategic policy responses: We will scrutinise China’s potential countermeasures, exploring how domestic carbon pricing, Emissions Trading System (ETS) expansion, and trade diversion strategies can mitigate economic exposure. Will the CBAM spark trade frictions, or will it catalyse a new era of green cooperation?
- Spotlight on the steel industry: We will gain both quantitative and qualitative insights into one of the most heavily exposed sectors and learn how the transition to low-carbon technologies and domestic policy shifts could offset billions in potential CBAM certificate costs.
Following the expert presentations, a vivid panel discussion and moderated audience Q&A will delve deeper into the intersection of climate action and global trade dynamics. Whether you are a policymaker, industry leader, supply-chain strategist, or climate researcher, this webinar will equip you with the essential insights needed to navigate this dynamic landscape.
