Many argue climate wins like EU CBAM and IRA break the int'l trade system. My Center on Global Energy Policy colleagues & I offer a nuanced take: The climate crisis exposes its limits. In a World Bank paper, we suggest making it compatible with the energy transition. thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/2dc5e13…

Read CGEP scholars Gautam Jain, Chris Bataille, Noah Kaufman, and Sagatom Saha's paper, "Resuscitating WTO for the Energy Transition: Why, How, and Who", for their recommendations on boosting the global energy transition and transforming trade dynamics. ⬇️ thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/2dc5e13…

Tariffs on 🇨🇳 EVs will save 🇺🇸 manufacturing or slow climate goals depending who you ask. My Center on Global Energy Policy colleagues & I argue in FORTUNE it depends on next steps. Tariffs alone won't boost 🇺🇸 EVs; we need industry action & phaseout schedule. fortune.com/2024/05/23/bid…

The Tariffs Are Bad/Good discourse may be a distraction from how to make them better. fortune.com/2024/05/23/bid…
