The growth of green industrial policy in major economies is creating friction between climate and trade. If allowed to escalate, these frictions may disrupt climate action and undermine countries’ broader economic and development objectives. Cooperative solutions can help ease these tensions and open opportunities to leverage trade toward more ambitious and equitable climate action.
One year ago, the Center on Global Energy Policy, in partnership with the Institute of Global Politics, launched the International Dialogue on Climate and Trade to help governments build common ground on cooperative approaches.
Phase one of the Dialogue brought 22 governments together with experts and stakeholders from academia, think tanks, the private sector, labor, and civil society in in-depth workshops in Brazil, Singapore, and South Africa.
The Center on Global Energy Policy hosted leading thinkers for a presentation and discussion of a new report distilling insights drawn from the first year of this critical Dialogue.
Speakers:
Jason Bordoff, Professor of Practice, Founding Director of the Center on Global Energy Policy, IGP Faculty Advisory Board member, Columbia SIPA
Joanne Yawitch, Head, Just Energy Transition Project Management Unit – South African Presidency
Heloísa Pereira, Undersecretary for Trade Policy, Brazilian Foreign Trade Chamber, Ministry of Development Industry, Trade and Service (Brazil)
