As climate-trade policies multiply, speakers will outline the need to strive for an international trade system that enables ambitious climate action, boosts sustainable development, increases equity and builds resilience.
This event aims to demonstrate that taking an integrated approach to just transitions – including advancing adaptation and mitigation efforts and climate-trade policies and facilitating open discussion to foster cooperation and coordination – can enable ambitious climate action.
Building on the success of the 2023 Global Report on Climate and SDG Synergy, the Expert Group on Climate and SDG Synergy will launch four thematic reports at Bonn. Comprised of four thematic reports and a final synthesis report, the new edition aims to accelerate action on SDGs and climate through four entry points: policy frameworks, knowledge and data, a proposed new financial system and cities.
SEI Executive Director, Måns Nilsson engaged as thematic co-lead author for one of the reports: Seeking synergy solutions: policies that support both climate and SDG action, alongside SEI Senior Research Fellow, Adis Dzebo as a thematic co-author.
The findings of the four thematic reports will be launched at this event, laying the groundwork for the synthesis report to be released in July.
