Recommendation 18

We recommend that the Government, at the design stage: a) Include a strategy to engage with the public in the design of the carbon border approach to develop and maintain public support and keep the public informed of the changes that would occur, the rationale and methodology supporting the changes, and their impact and timescales; and b) Conduct analysis to understand any potential impact on consumers, including vulnerable and low-income households, and ensure the carbon border approach includes any measures needed to address this.
