Abstract

This paper evaluates the economic impacts of the European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on Mozambique and South Africa—two countries with high exposure due to carbon intensive exports. Using the Global Trade Analysis Project Circular Economy (GTAP-CE) Data Base and the dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model ENVISAGE, we develop a baseline to 2035 and simulate the proposed CBAM. Results show modest macroeconomic effects but significant sectoral adjustments.
