About this session

This lunchtime dive aims to spur conversation on how policies, rules, and approaches on sustainable investment and technology intersect with the drive for more sustainable trade, and in particular for trade cooperation that supports climate mitigation, adaptation, and climate-resilient development. 

It will review key recent developments, lessons learned, and opportunities for international cooperative frameworks to foster sustainable investment and technology models, partnerships, and agreements.
