WTO Members Deepen Talks on Trade-Related Climate Measures
WTO members advanced discussions on trade, climate measures, interoperability, development and transparency in a committee meeting.
What happened
The WTO’s Committee on Trade and Environment met on 28-29 September to discuss how trade-related climate measures can work together and address development considerations. Members also continued a voluntary information-sharing exercise launched earlier this year to improve transparency, while receiving updates on international forums and member-led environmental initiatives.
Why it matters
The discussions could improve transparency and coordination around trade-related climate measures, but the source does not report a new rule, decision or business impact.
