Consultation: Addressing carbon leakage risk to support decarbonisation

Overview

The UK government is consulting on a range of potential policy measures to mitigate future carbon leakage risk.

This consultation opens at 9am on 30 March 2023. It closes at 11:59pm on 22 June 2023.

Consultation Description

On 30 March, the government published an exploratory consultation considering a range of potential policy measures to mitigate carbon leakage risk in the future and ensure UK industry has the optimal policy environment to decarbonise. Potential policies include a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM), mandatory product standards (MPS), and other policy measures to help grow the market for low carbon products, as well as emissions reporting which could support the implementation of potential mitigation policies.
