Abstract
The interplay between climate policies and economic competitiveness is increasing rapidly. In response, the concept of carbon competitiveness is emerging as a crucial factor that is shaping the future of global trade and climate action. The central challenge lies in balancing the need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with the goals of providing secure and affordable energy, and sustaining economic growth. This complexity underscores the importance of carefully crafted policies that drive climate progress without compromising economic stability.
