Ambitious climate policies to achieve net-zero emissions are at risk if international trade leads to leakage—when the source of emissions shifts to jurisdictions with less ambitious policies in place. This event will examine the extent of emissions leakage based on increasingly ambitious policy scenarios. It will then report on the effectiveness of border measures to mitigate leakage, particularly in economically sensitive sectors.

Join us for a virtual RFF Live event on Wednesday, November 3, as an international set of scholars present recent modeling results that explore the implications of policy proposals currently being considered in the European Union and United States on emissions leakage and climate ambition.
