Navigating the EU CBAM: Readiness, Carbon Data and Competitiveness for Indian Exporters

Introduction

As the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) enters its definitive regime, Indian exporters face a rapidly evolving compliance landscape with growing implications for carbon data management, reporting obligations, and competitiveness in the European market.
To support industry preparedness, the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) is organising a virtual workshop:
Navigating the EU CBAM: Readiness, Carbon Data and Competitiveness for Indian Exporters. 

This interactive session will bring together EU policymakers, technical experts, and industry representatives to discuss the practical aspects of CBAM implementation and what businesses need to do to prepare. 

• Latest developments in the EU CBAM framework and implementation requirements
• Emissions data readiness, reporting obligations, and MRV requirements
• International corporate experiences and practical approaches to CBAM preparedness and compliance
• Future outlook of CBAM, including carbon pricing, Article 6 carbon markets linkages, and potential scope expansion. 

The session will also feature an interactive Q&A, providing participants with an opportunity to engage directly with policymakers and technical experts.
