What happened
Piyush Goyal, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, criticized wealthy nations, including the European Union, for not delivering on climate finance commitments to the Global South. He specifically questioned the European Union and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. Goyal noted that the promised annual commitment of $100 billion has not been fulfilled eleven years after the 2015 Paris climate conference.

Why it matters
The criticism highlights geopolitical tensions surrounding the implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. BRICS actively opposes CBAM, viewing it as a protectionist and discriminatory trade barrier. The failure to meet climate finance pledges adds pressure to the regulatory framework implemented by the European Commission.
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism framework is currently being implemented across Europe.
