Publication Series on Net Zero Pathways and Implications for Developing Countries

TESS is delighted to announce the launch of a new series of sectoral briefing notes on trade and climate scenarios on the road to 2050 looking at the implications for developing countries and climate-resilient development.

Trade and Climate Scenarios on the Road to 2050: Implications for Developing Countries and Climate-Resilient Development

This new series of sectoral briefing notes commissioned by TESS aims to provide an overview of current and anticipated transformations in trade on the road to 2050 in the context of the unfolding climate crisis and the international community’s climate action agenda, and to discuss potential scenarios and implications for developing countries and sustainable development

A wider objective of the series is to contribute to a better understanding of emerging trade and trade policy trends and dynamics, and their implications for various sectors, with a focus on supporting developing countries in identifying and advancing their climate and trade-related interests and priorities in international discussions.

The sectors covered in the series will include agriculture, border carbon adjustments, carbon markets, critical minerals, digital trade, fisheries, fossil fuels, heavy industries, renewable energy, textiles, tourism, and transport, each authored by experts in these respective fields. The briefing notes will inform a final report on Trade and climate scenarios on the road to 2050: Implications for developing countries and climate-resilient development to be released in the coming months.

This series is made possible thanks to the support of the Australian Government.
