Global: Climate competitiveness: Building opportunities in the green economy for emerging and developing countries

The project aims to increase the engagement of seven developing and emerging countries in the Trade and Environment Structured Sustainability Discussions (TESSD) and the Committee on Trade and Environment (CTE) at World Trade Organisation (WTO). The project will carry out research in partnership with countries on the role of trade in supporting climate change mitigation and adaptation objectives. On the basis of this research, it will support countries to make submissions to the WTO CTE and TESSD in the form of best practices, lessons learnt, common regional approaches on standards etc. Furthermore, the project will provide tailor made capacity building for MSMEs on trade and environment related issues.
