  <content><![CDATA[The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) aims to ad
dress the problem of carbon leakage and enhance the competitiveness 
of EU local producers by imposing carbon tax on imports from non-EU 
nations. However, CBAM will have significant economic implications 
for developing countries, including Nigeria, who have not established 
carbon tax policy similar to the EU’s Emission Trading System (ETS). 
Nigeria is one of the major exporters to the EU but does not currently 
have a carbon tax policy that is aligned with the EU’s ETS. This potentially 
puts additional compliance costs on Nigerian Exporters, raising the price 
of their products in EU market and loss of competitiveness. This paper 
aims to explore the impacts of CBAM on Nigeria’s exports. The article 
argues that given that Nigerian does not currently operate a compliance carbon pricing regime, CBAM could have significant effect on the 
country’s exports to the EU. It proposes a stronger legal framework that 
promotes transparency and integrity of Nigeria’s carbon market system 
and long-term policy alignment with the EU’s carbon trading system.&nbsp;&nbsp;]]></content>
