The thesis investigates the impact of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on African countries’ exports to the European Economic Area (EEA). The methodology involves a partial equilibrium analysis of a gravity model of bilateral trade, combined with input-output analysis to derive CO2 intensities along the value chain of African-produced goods. The results indicate a significant reduction in exports from African countries to the EEA under full product coverage. The study demonstrates that CBAM has the potential to shift the burden of emission reduction onto vulnerable EEA trading partners, underscoring the need for a carefully considered application of the policy in its final stage.
