About this event

The UK's own carbon border adjustment mechanism (UK CBAM) starts on 1 January 2027. With just a few months left before full implementation, the CBAMBOO team is delighted to host an in-person event in London, bringing together the brightest minds on CBAM to exchange perspectives. Join us on 19 November for half a day of discussions covering the latest policy updates, what comes next, and the practical business insights you need to prepare. Stay on for drinks after the event to network with speakers and fellow participants. The exact venue will be communicated to registrants.

    The outlook for UK CBAM and its potential for linkage with the EU

    Presentation

    With an announcement on UK–EU carbon market linkage possible the day after the event, what would it take to bring the two systems together? This session examines where UK and EU CBAM differ today, in carbon prices, cost calculations and administration, and what those differences mean for businesses. It then explores scenarios under linkage, and what could happen while the regimes continue to run side by side.
