EUDR i CBAM — regulacje środowiskowe a handel zagraniczny
EUDR and CBAM — Environmental Regulations and Foreign Trade

Summary/Abstract: Every year, a forest area larger than Poland disappears from the Earth’s surface. Deforestation, or the disappearance of forests, is responsible for 20% of global CO₂ emissions. Hence, combating deforestation and forest degradation as well as CBAM are an important part of the package of measures necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to meet the EU’s commitments resulting from the European Green Deal, as well as the Paris climate agreement adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (referred to as the “Paris Agreement”). It is certainly too early for a comprehensive assessment of the described mechanisms, due to their short duration. There is no doubt that there are numerous new obligations for entrepreneurs in the field of trade in goods burdened with new reporting obligations and penalties for failure to comply with the imposed obligations. The nearest statistics will be a measurable assessment of whether and how these mechanisms have influenced the implementation of the EU’s climate policy objectives, and whether how these mechanisms will translate to existing and new importers.
