Weakening rules risks loopholes & undermines climate integrity.
📦 Default values for #CBAM goods must reflect the highest-emission production route, not an average. Without preference for actual emissions, low-carbon producers abroad lose incentives.

Our new research shows the barriers to unlocking financial flows are multi-level and vary vastly from one region to another.
Our method clusters EU regions on a spectrum of ‘electrification-readiness’. We identified 5 distinct regional profiles ranging from Very Low Barriers to Very High Barriers.
