We are pleased to share that Elena Benedetti, Livia Cabernard and collegues have published a new study titled:
"Border regulation and greenhouse gas emissions from EU-UK food trade"
The study explores the effects of a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism on greenhouse gas emissions from food trade between the EU and the UK. Using a detailed trade model and life-cycle assessment approach, the researchers found that such a mechanism could reduce emissions from UK food imports by approximately 25%.
The results highlight the potential of border carbon regulations to support more sustainable food systems and address carbon leakage in international trade.
