Designing carbon intensity metrics: Implications for incentives, costs and competitiveness

OnlineNov 17, 2026 | 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM

Description

Carbon intensity metrics are increasingly used across a wide range of climate policies, such as product regulation, public procurement and border carbon adjustment measures. The way these metrics are designed and implemented have economic implications as they implemented shape economic incentives and compliance costs for firms and affect competition, trade and market outcomes across jurisdictions. This session will examine how these economic implications can inform the design and use of carbon intensity metrics. It will consider how greater interoperability of metrics across jurisdictions can support policy effectiveness while limiting unnecessary costs, unintended market distortions and barriers to trade. The event will build on ongoing work by the Inclusive Forum on Carbon Mitigation Approaches (IFCMA) examining how carbon intensity metrics are designed and how they are used across different policy applications.
