Each episode examines a specific mechanism — from EU ETS permit prices to the impact of US Inflation Reduction Act subsidies on corporate balance sheets — and traces how these policies ripple through energy markets, manufacturing, and consumer prices. Lucas brings the numbers and institutional context (how the World Bank's carbon pricing dashboard works, what the Social Cost of Carbon actually measures), while Luna pushes for the practical implications: does a €50 carbon tax actually change behavior? What happens when a steel plant in Germany faces both emission costs and Chinese competition? The show serves investors, policy analysts, and business leaders who need to understand climate-related financial risk without the activism or greenwashing. Listeners walk away able to parse a carbon offset market, evaluate a company's net-zero roadmap, and spot the difference between a real price signal and a political slogan. How do you put a number on a ton of carbon — and who pays when that number is wrong? #CarbonPricing #GreenPolicy #SustainabilityCosts #EUETS #Infla…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T06:19:03.667812+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781"},"episode":{"title":"How Carbon Border Taxes Are Reshaping Global Trade","slug":"how-carbon-border-taxes-are-reshaping-global-trade","published_at":"2026-06-18T06:49:05+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-carbon-border-taxes-are-reshaping-global-trade","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0058.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0058.mp3","summary":"The European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism went into full effect in January 2026, and it's already changing how companies source steel, aluminum, and cement. Lucas breaks down exactly how the CBAM works—importers must buy certificates at a price tied to the EU Emissions Trading System, currently around 80 euros per ton of CO2. He explains why this effectively creates a carbon tariff on goods from countries with weaker climate policies. Luna pushes back on whether this hurts developing nations, and Lucas cites World Bank data showing that export-dependent economies like India and Turkey are scrambling to set up their own carbon pricing systems to avoid losing market access. The episode also covers how companies like ArcelorMittal and Volkswagen are adjusting supply chains. The hosts close by asking whether CBAM could fragment global trade into climate-aligned blocs. #CarbonBorderTax #CBAM #EUCarbonMarket #ClimatePolicy #GlobalTrade #SupplyChain #CarbonPricing #EmissionsTrading #GreenTariff #SteelIndustry #Aluminum #Cement #ArcelorMittal #Volkswagen #WorldBank #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"The European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism went into full effect in January 2026, and it's already changing how companies source steel, alumi…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":531,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/episodes/how-carbon-border-taxes-are-reshaping-global-trade/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-carbon-border-taxes-are-reshaping-global-trade.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
