CleanTrade exists to make the political case for regulations that prevent high-carbon imports undercutting fledgling low-carbon industries. And that’s exactly what we do in this piece….
We set out how, for the Conservatives, extending carbon pricing to imports is a way of further unleashing the market’s potential to deliver low-carbon solutions. It could also bolster manufacturing jobs in areas they want to “level up” in.
And for Labour, these policies are a chance to double down on promoting green jobs – in a way that doesn’t add to their public spending commitments.

CleanTrade exists to help people understand the policy options and their benefits. This piece covers our research into how a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) could boost construction industry orders of low-carbon UK-made steel by £500m annually.
This would help to level the playing field between lower carbon UK-made steel and high-carbon imports, and we would expect an industrial building developer like FTSE 100-listed Segro to shift £10m of its steel spend.
