Global policy battles: tightening measures face pushback and shifts
Key Questions
What are Scope 3 emissions and why do they matter in policy debates?
Scope 3 covers indirect value-chain emissions that companies must increasingly account for under regulations like CBAM. Carbon accounting software is advancing to help firms track and manage these complex categories.
How is the EU's CBAM affecting global trade and climate policy?
CBAM imposes carbon tariffs on imports to prevent leakage and encourage cleaner production abroad. It is sparking international debates as countries like the UK and Canada adjust their own measures amid shifting political pressures.
What ESG scrutiny is emerging in current policy discussions?
Investors and regulators are questioning the measurable value of ESG initiatives amid tightening rules and political shifts. This includes debates under potential Trump policies and evolving frameworks in Canada and the UK.
