Description

About the Book Carbon Border Management Measures and International Trade Law: WTO Compatibility and Indian Climate Policy examines the evolving relationship between international trade law and global climate action, with particular focus on the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The book analyses CBAM under WTO law, including GATT principles on non-discrimination, national treatment, tariffs, quantitative restrictions and the Article XX environmental exceptions. It also explores CBAM’s interaction with the UNFCCC, Paris Agreement and the principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities. With India at its centre, the book considers the implications of CBAM for key sectors including steel, aluminium and fertilisers, alongside India’s domestic climate policies and emerging carbon-market framework. Bringing together legal, economic and policy perspectives, this book offers a focused examination of the challenges and opportunities created by the growing intersection of climate governance and international trade.
