BRICS Oppose EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, Call for More Climate Funding
BRICS countries condemned the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), describing it as unilateral and protectionist, during the 12th BRICS Environment Ministers' Meeting in New Delhi. They warned that such measures could hinder developing countries' climate efforts and called for increased international funding to support adaptation. The EU's CBAM, effective since January 2026, requires importers of carbon-intensive goods to account for associated emissions, aiming to prevent carbon leakage. India, notably exposed through steel exports, has seen high-emission firms reduce exports to the EU under CBAM.
