About the seminar

On a global scale, the climate change we are experiencing is a serious and pressing issue of their time. As António Guterres, Secretary-General of the UN, noted at the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP27, “They are on a highway to climate hell with their foot on the accelerator.” In this regard, there is an even greater need than ever for effective action on climate change. A collaborative effort is required to achieve the SDGs, including trade policies that support sustainable practices and climate action. In this context, this proposed conference will explore the intersection of climate action, SDGs, and trade and how they can work together to create a path towards a greener future.

The conference will explore the linkages between trade policies, SDGs, and climate action, it will discuss innovative approaches and best practices in trade policy that could promote sustainable development and identify the challenges and opportunities in aligning trade policies with SDGs and climate action and ensure deliberations among different stakeholders towards a greener future.
