This year’s Forum will explore how trade policies can help address the triple planetary crisis by facilitating the trade of environmental goods 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 industrial policies aimed at achieving environmental objectives 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.
