The Future of Green Trade and Industrial Decarbonization

​Overview

​At a time of unilateral trade measures and the U.S. retreat from climate action, what is the future of the climate and trade nexus? This event will explore pathways for progress on trade and cleaner industrial production, taking into consideration the current political climate and opportunities to lay groundwork for the future.
