The European Union’s (EU) Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is reshaping international trade by introducing carbon pricing for imports of carbon-intensive goods. As implementation progresses, understanding its implications for exporting countries has become increasingly important for policymakers, industry, and other stakeholders.
This country case study, jointly prepared by the International Network of Energy Transition Think Tanks (INETTT) and SHURA, examines the potential impacts of CBAM on Türkiye. Focusing on the iron and steel, aluminium, cement, and fertiliser sectors, the report assesses sectoral and regional impacts, Türkiye’s preparedness, and policy options to strengthen competitiveness during the low-carbon transition.
As part of INETTT’s CBAM case study series on developing countries, the report highlights both the challenges and opportunities presented by CBAM. It also explores how carbon pricing, industrial decarbonisation, renewable energy deployment, and international climate finance can support Türkiye’s green industrial transformation while maintaining export competitiveness.
