"Governments worldwide face mounting pressure to simultaneously expand domestic clean energy industries and accelerate decarbonisation. Recent policies combine subsidies for clean technology with various protectionist measures, including domestic content requirements and tariffs on imports. Yet, evidence from the solar sector suggests tariffs undermine rather than support climate objectives.

Since 2012, the US has imposed substantial tariffs on solar panels imported from China. The EU erected related trade barriers on solar panels before lifting them in 2018. More recently, the US and EU have imposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. These actions illustrate a policy tension: even as governments commit to rapid decarbonisation, protectionist measures raise the cost of deploying the clean technologies needed to achieve climate goals. Recent research helps illuminate this conflict and points toward better policy approaches."
