This year's joint Green Growth and Sustainable Development (or GGSD) Forum and Global Forum on Trade will explore the interplay between trade, investment and environmental outcomes. The Forum will address how trade policies can help address the triple planetary crisis by supporting the adoption of environmental goods and services (EGS) and closing the material loop for a more circular, low carbon economy. It will also discuss latest developments in measuring carbon footprints along supply chains and their policy implications, how to promote cross-border investments into low-carbon assets, the potential of trade-based measures to enhance environmental sustainability, and the implications of green industrial policies for international trade and investment. With shipping accounting for around 80% of the volume of international trade in goods, the Forum will also explore best practices and challenges for greening maritime transport.
