Using National Border Climate Adjustment Schemes To Facilitate Global Greenhouse Gas Management In Industrial Production, Alexandra Khrebtukova
Washington and Lee Journal of Energy, Climate, and the Environment
I argue that an appropriately conceived and well-designed border climate adjustment scheme, as a policy mechanism potentially utilizable by many States party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, may lead to desirable consequences for the development of comprehensive global greenhouse gas management in furtherance of the Framework Convention’s objectives. By creating the conditions for a healthy experimentalism and regulatory competition among the regulating bodies of diverse national markets, the use of origin-neutral border climate adjustment schemes, equivalent to the climate regulatory costs imposed on like domestic products as a condition of market access, may lead to a …

Climate debate and policy proposals in the United States have yet to grasp the gravity and magnitude of the challenges posed by global warming. This paper develops three arguments to redress this situation. First, the spatial and temporal scale of the processes linking greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to climate change is unprecedented in human experience, challenging our abilities to comprehend, let alone act. An adequate understanding of the scale of global warming leads to an unequivocal starting point for all discussions: we must leave as much fossil fuel in the ground as possible, for as long as possible. Second, a …
