SUMMARY:#SEATINIAtCOP31 - Building Implementation Capacity at the Climate-Trade Nexus: A Country-Led\, Sector-Specific Approach
DESCRIPTION:This official UNFCCC COP 31 side event will explore the domestic and value-chain levers that could make trade a driver of ambitious climate action. Bringing together practitioners\, researchers and other experts\, it will ask how countries can shape the green trade transition\, and what opportunities it offers them. \nEvent Date:\n18 November 2026 \nEvent Location:\nSide Event Room 6 – KATİP ÇELEBİ\, Blue Zone\, COP31 Venue\, Antalya\, Türkiye. \nTime:  18:30-20:00 (local time Türkiye) \n\nObjective\n\n\n\nDiscussion will start at the national level\, looking at what effective alignment between trade\, climate and development strategies looks like in practice\, and what enables it. It will then turn to sectors\, examining which entry points\, such as critical minerals\, agriculture and aluminium\, offer the clearest pathways into green value chains\, and what support they need to get there. Finally\, it will consider how international cooperation on carbon system interoperability and standards can reduce the burden on developing countries. \nThrough open dialogue\, participants will identify practical ways to align strategies at country and sector levels and unlock new opportunities for climate action. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nChantal Line Carpentier\, Head of the Trade\, Environment Climate Change & Sustainable Development Branch\, UNCTAD\nYasmin Ismail\, Senior Policy Advisor\, Trade Climate and Sustainable Development\, TESS\nHerbert Kafeero\, Deputy Executive Director\, SEATINI\nMiriam Garcia\, Senior Climate Action Manager\, WRI Brazil\nRavi Shankar\, Prasad\, Distinguished Fellow\, CEEW\nSouthern Transitions (TBC)\n\nModerated by: Ana Gonzalez\, Head of Projects\, Climate Strategies \n\n\n\nGuiding Questions\n\n\n\n\nHow can countries shape the green trade transition and what are the opportunities?\nWhat does effective national-level alignment between trade\, climate\, and development strategies look like in practice\, and what enables it?\nWhich sectoral entry points (e.g. critical minerals\, agriculture\, Aluminium) offer the clearest pathways into green value chains\, and what support do they require?\nHow can international cooperation on carbon system interoperability and standards reduce the burden in developing countries?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-organized with Climate Strategies and TESS
