Book excerpt: In this research, our aim was to try to understand the true nature of the CBAM, proposed by the European Commission, from a WTO standpoint. With all the complexities surrounding the EU's domestic political ambitions, how its trading partners may react under the WTO, and how international law, particularly the Paris Climate Agreement, may come into play, etc.,What is the purpose of the legislation? How is it applied, and to whom is it addressed? And most importantly, under which provisions of the GATT could the CBAM be tackled and Analyzed, and is it GATT compliant? If not, is it a measure that could potentially be justified under the GATT? Under which provision could it be justified? Under which conditions? Will the CBAM really solve the issue? Or will it just make it worse? What solutions does the CBAM offer to which problems?
