The 2022 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the competition and connectedness that characterise the current trade landscape.
In this podcast, Rem Korteweg (Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute) is joined by Inu Manak (Fellow for Trade Policy, Council on Foreign Relations) and Jennifer Hillman (Professor, IIEL at Georgetown Law and Co-Director of The Center on Inclusive Trade and Development, Georgetown Law). This episode was recorded live at the WTO Public Forum in Geneva, with a conference theme of ‘Towards a Sustainable and Inclusive Recovery: ambition to action.’ Listen as they discuss a central issue: how to use trade policy to meet the climate challenge.
The meeting of trade and climate policy is a dynamic area of discussion. How can trade policy be used to lower emissions? How can the global emissions embedded in internationally traded goods be reduced? Without resorting to protectionism, how can carbon leakage be addressed so industries that produce goods in a more sustainable way are not penalised?
