Series of sectoral briefing notes curated by TESS on trade and climate scenarios on the road to 2050 looking at the implications for developing countries and climate-resilient development.
This series of sectoral briefing notes commissioned by TESS aims to provide an overview of current and anticipated transformations in trade 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 include agriculture, carbon markets, critical minerals, digital trade, energy transition, fisheries, heavy industries, shipping, textiles, and tourism, each authored by experts in these respective fields. The briefing notes will be compiled and inform a final report on Trade, climate, and net zero pathways: Implications for developing countries and climate-resilient development to be released in 2025.
