EU Carbon Border Mechanism and Global Carbon Market Integrity Shape Climate Action

Starting in 2026, the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will enter its full operational phase, impacting sectors like steel and aluminium in India. Indian industry faces the challenge of aligning strategically with EU carbon pricing, potentially leveraging Paris Agreement Article 6 to retain decarbonisation capital domestically. Concurrently, global carbon markets are shifting focus from scale to integrity amid concerns over credit credibility, emphasizing transparent, socially and environmentally responsible carbon credit projects to ensure real climate impact.
