The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism: Considerations for Colombia
Third policy brief in INETTT’s series on the European Union’s CBAM examines its impact on Colombia.
Preface
The EU’s CBAM took full effect in January 2026, marking a significant shift in global climate and trade policy.
This case study explores the potential consequences of CBAM implementation on Colombia, highlighting nuances at the national and subnational levels, the country’s preparedness, and possible responses. It was developed by INETTT together with our local member, Transforma.
INETTT’s CBAM impact series aims to provide a better understanding of its implications for selected developing countries and how CBAM implementation can help shape sustainable pathways for global decarbonisation.
