As countries accelerate decarbonization, fiscal instruments such as transition taxes and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms (CBAM) are becoming critical to incentivize green production, reduce carbon leakage, and ensure fair trade. This domain equips learners to design, model, and assess taxation policies and CBAM strategies, integrating climate economics, international trade, and regulatory compliance. Participants gain expertise in carbon pricing, trade exposure analysis, sectoral decarbonization impacts, and policy simulation. The program prepares policymakers, financial analysts, and corporate strategists to align fiscal measures with national and global climate goals.
