Abstract:

The European Union is considering charging imported goods by the amount of carbon dioxide emitted during their production. Such a tax could support climate protection activities and help combat the risk of so-called “carbon leakage”. However, it would be difficult to implement and could escalate trade conflicts and increase disputes in the WTO. The direct benefits of the tax for the Polish economy over the long term would require increased innovation and a reduction in domestic emissions.
