Description
Companies face growing pressure from consumers, regulators, investors, and civil society to disclose and reduce emissions generated throughout their supply chains. This raises new challenges for the measurement and monitoring of carbon footprint along cross-border value chains and the trade costs stemming from the lack of harmonisation or interoperability of approaches to calculate product-level carbon intensity. This session will explore how trade policies – e.g., trade facilitation measures – and international co-operation could minimise trade costs associated with these new requirements, with a view to discussing best practices and identifying gaps in data necessary for their implementation.
