What action will the Welsh Government take to ensure there is a robust and export-compliant carbon border adjustment mechanism that ensures imported products meet the same environmental standards as products manufactured in the UK?
Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 08/11/2022
The UK Government has committed to consult on a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the potential of product standards to reduce carbon emissions by the end of 2022. Welsh Government is encouraging the UK Government to bring forward the consultation as soon as possible and will work with the UK Government to understand the implications and opportunities for Welsh industry.
