The session will address how trade policy and the multilateral system can facilitate an enabling international trade and investment environment that will help to secure energy transition-related value chains while increasing mineral-rich countries’ benefits by fostering ‘on-site’ value addition and, thereby, creating socio-economic development opportunities.This session will bring together global leaders to support trade policy options to consider as part of a just and ambitious global response to climate change. It aims to inspire other governments to consider how such measures could be integrated into their national policies and accelerate the transition to a climate-friendly global economy. It will also feature concrete trade policy actions and initiatives that can foster sustainable practices and contribute to the global efforts in combating climate change.
