“…Mitigating CO 2 emissions has the unintended co-benefit of creating a more stable agricultural trade system that may be better able to reduce food insecurity (Porfirio et al, 2016;Zhao et al, 2017) and increase welfare by reducing social costs of carbon (Moore et al, 2017). Trading rules could potentially help to achieve transformative change in climate policy (Lininger, 2015). A strong economic structure (May et al, 2008;Arinaminpathy et al, 2012), with agile and robust policies, can help in mitigating climate impacts on agricultural production while transitioning to a low carbon economy.…”

In addition to expanding agricultural land area and intensifying crop yields, increasing the global trade of agricultural products is one mechanism that humanity has adopted to meet the nutritional demands of a growing population. However, climate change will affect the distribution of agricultural production and, therefore, food supply and global markets. Here we quantify the structural changes in the global agricultural trade network under the two contrasting greenhouse gas emissions scenarios by coupling seven Global Gridded Crop Models and five Earth System Models to a global dynamic economic model. Our results suggest that global trade patterns of agricultural commodities may be significantly different from today's reality with or without carbon mitigation. More specifically, the agricultural trade network becomes more centralised under the high CO 2 emissions scenario, with a few regions dominating the markets. Under the carbon mitigation scenario, the trade network is more distributed and more regions are involved as either importers or exporters. Theoretically, the more distributed the structure of a network, the less vulnerable the system is to climatic or institutional shocks. Mitigating CO 2 emissions has the co-benefit of creating a more stable agricultural trade system that may be better able to reduce food insecurity.

“…For example, allocate channels for carbon leakage: the competitiveness, the energy market, the income, and the technology spillovers channel. Various counter -measures against leakage were suggested; one of them being border carbon adjustments(Lininger, 2015).It was for the EU enterprises, vulnerable from the point of view of carbon leakage, that the free transfer of quotas for CO 2 emissions was carried out. For this, benchmarks were installed.…”

The global trend towards decarbonization of the economy, the introduction of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism in the EU and the possible consequences for Russia

Research background: In the process of implementing the Paris Agreement (2015), Europe is a leader in the formation of new legislative initiatives in order to develop a set of effective measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. The European Commission approved the European Green Deal (2015) - a strategy for achieving the EU parameters of climate neutrality through the transition to a clean circular economy. Its main goal is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 by 50 - 55% from 1990 levels and achieve full carbon neutrality of the EU by 2050. As part of this strategy, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is being developed. The introduction of CBAM means a revolutionary transformation in the system of international economic relations. Purpose of the article is to identify and assess possible risks for producers and consumers, primarily of energy products after the introduction of CBAM, as well as the impact of these risks on Russian exports to Europe. Methods: The authors carried out a comparative analysis of scenarios for the implementation of CBAM in the sectorial and product segments of trade between Russia and the EU. Findings: The article contains comparative assessments of the beginning redistribution of international markets in the sectoral and product coverage of emissions, as well as an analysis of the unfolding contradictions in the verification of methods for determining the carbon footprint in the production chains of the real sector of the economy.
