Australia weighs carbon tax on high-emission imports to fight climate change and protect local industries.
Australia’s Labor government is considering a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) to tax high-carbon imports like cement, aluminium, and fertiliser, mirroring EU and UK plans.
The move aims to protect domestic industries from carbon leakage and support global emissions reductions.

A formal review is expected in 2026–27, with current policies seen as sufficient for now.
