As recognition of the urgency of climate action increases, debate is growing on the need to spur a paradigm shift to support sustainability in the international trading system. Moreover, critical gaps remain on how the links between trade, finance and climate action can be more ambitious and better promote a just transition and climate-resilient development.

Under the auspices of the Aligning Climate and Economic Governance (ACEGOV), the UWI/SRC Lunch Time Chat seminar series, the Forum on Trade, Environment and the SDGs (TESS), and the Remaking Global Trade for a Sustainable Future Project, this 1.5-hour webinar brought together leading scholars and practitioners to discuss shifting the paradigm for a just transition and sustainable development.
