4 Dec

16:00-17:00 GST

The multilateral trading system can ensure that all countries can access breakthrough technologies and innovate to transition to a clean energy future. To facilitate this, countries and Members of the World Trade Organization could review the existing tariff and non-tariff barriers on energy-related and ICT goods. At the same time, broader policy action can enable technology-driven supply chain decarbonization. This session will bring together global leaders from the public and private sector to commit to using the multilateral trading system to scale up breakthrough trade technologies and support a just transition
