The conference brought together a regionally diverse range of experts—from research centres, think tanks, academia, international organizations, stakeholder organizations, the private sector, and government—to identify concrete steps and innovative pathways for effective international cooperation on critical issues at the nexus of trade, climate and sustainable development, and to bridge the communities and actors vital for collaborative action.

TCSD 2026 featured hybrid public panels complemented by thematic brainstorming and interactive sessions to deepen dialogue and generate practical ideas for concrete outcomes, collaboration, and ways forward.
