List of industries and sub-sectors with high risk of carbon leakage in the period of 2021 - 2030 of the EU
On 15 February 2019, the European Commission EC issued a List identifying the sectors and subsectors considered to be at risk of carbon leakage for the period 2021-2030. The risk level of an industry/subsector is determined by its carbon leakage indicator. This index is influenced by two main components: (i) the trade intensity of that sector/sub-sector with a third country (non-EU), and (ii) the emission intensity) of the industry/sub-sector.
