MC14 in Yaoundé: Global Trade Tested by Carbon Border Tax

The 14th WTO Ministerial Conference opens in Yaoundé, Cameroon — a first on the African continent. At the heart of debates: the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which entered into force in January 2026 and requires importers to pay for CO2 emissions embedded in products. Developing countries denounce a form of green protectionism while the EU defends compatibility with WTO rules. 166 countries are negotiating the future of global trade.
