Change in U.S. administration could shift political calculations over carbon tariffs, say advocates

Despite facing an internal 'crisis' over its dispute-resolution system, the WTO could still serve as a way to build consensus on 'developing a climate change approach to trade,' says professor Debra Steiger.

U.S. vice-president-elect Kamala Harris and president-elect Joe Biden. The Biden-Harris campaign platform included a promise to 'impose carbon adjustment fees or quotas on carbon-intensive goods from countries' that are lagging in their climate commitments. It’s billed as a way to mitigate the competitive disadvantages domestic producers may face against foreign producers with less stringent emissions policies.  Photograph courtesy of Facebook
