Canada declines to back the EU border carbon tax despite closer ties with the EU
Canada's Climate Minister Julie Dabrusin declined to explicitly support the EU's border carbon adjustment mechanism (CBAM), which takes effect in January 2026. According to an internal document from Canadian government departments, Ottawa is seeking to ease its administrative burden: the mechanism affects exports of aluminium, steel, critical minerals and hydrogen and could complicate access to the EU market.
