The Forum on Trade, Environment and the SDGs (TESS) is convening a roundtable to discuss the role of trade and trade policy in supporting developing countries achieve climate resilient development in line with their climate objectives.

The session will bring authors of selected sectoral notes to share their main findings and discuss them with experts and policy makers.

Questions for discussion include:

• What are the key trade-related transformations expected across specific sectors under net zero transition pathways, and how might these affect developing countries competitiveness and integration in global value chains?
• What trade-related measures and industrial policies can developing countries leverage to support climate-resilient development amid shifting global demand?
• How can international cooperation at the nexus of trade and climate be harnessed or reformed to enable equitable participation of developing countries in the global net zero transition?
