Trade, financing and climate change: Towards a positive agenda for developing countries
As the climate and trade agenda evolves, new questions are being asked. Among the emerging issues some of the most important and difficult ones lie at the heart of the political economy of energy and trade. For example, many countries are reconsidering the scale and impacts of fossil fuel subsidies. But how much do we really know about the scale of this challenge, and is a lack of knowledge holding back reform? Improving this knowledge on the producer side is a particularly important issue. How can we convince countries that subsidy reform is in their interests?
Steven Gray, Head of International and UN Climate Change Policy, will be speaking at this interesting event on a panel disucssing:
- The state of the G-20 Initiative on fossil fuel subsidies: Status, issues, potential area of policy interventions
- Can countries be encouraged to make their subsidy reporting more transparent? How? And how does this sit with the WTO? What are the key issues (e.g. jobs, infant industry, pro-poor policies) that we must respond to?
- Trade-related issues around standards and labelling
