TRADE TRANSITION: Why Eskom’s carbon intensity may become the biggest strategic challenge for South African exporters
As the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism enters its implementation phase, South African exporters face a future in which carbon intensity may increasingly shape competitiveness and market access. While the immediate impact is limited, the potential expansion of the mechanism to downstream products and electricity-related emissions could significantly raise the stakes for carbon-intensive industries and the broader economy.

How FLIC Trust Scores workFLIC Trust Scores turn community ratings into a 0–100 signal about how readers assess a story. Fake News votes lower the score, while Liberal, Conservative, and Independent classifications support it. The formula also rewards a balanced split between Liberal and Conservative ratings instead of treating one political viewpoint as automatically more trustworthy. Scores can change as more people vote and represent community judgment, not a factual verdict or substitute for reading the original reporting. Learn more about how FLIC works.
