COP 30 Side Event | Trade and Climate at the Crossroads: Industrial policy for a warming world

As countries launch ambitious green industrial policies to meet climate goals and navigate geopolitical and energy challenges, international coordination has never been more important. This COP 30 high-level panel will bring together leading experts to explore how industrial policy and trade rules can accelerate global decarbonization, avoid harmful subsidy races and trade frictions, and ensure developing countries benefit rather than fall behind. The discussion will highlight pathways for fair transitions, wider access to clean technologies, and recommendations to strengthen cooperation ahead of COP 30 and beyond.
