According to a UNFCCC report, global additional investment, and financial flows of USD 200-210 billion will be needed in 2030 to return global GHG emissions to current levels. The alignment of the international legal framework for trade and investment is also crucial in meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. Trade, investment, and global partnerships have the potential to deliver the markets and technological innovations that are critical for effective adaptation and mitigation actions at the level that can address the global climate change challenges.
As such, this forward-thinking panel will first look at how the global stocktake, as a legal and policy process, can aid Parties in enhancing their national commitments with the promise of Paris-aligned consistent financial flows. The discussions will examine and assess developments in the international governance framework, including trade and investment rules, developments in FTA practice, and the global disclosure systems in meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The aim of this event is to facilitate inter-regime synergies between various governance frameworks at the international and regional level, and to generate awareness and understanding of what a robust global stocktake should produce, and how strong partnerships and collaboration among stakeholders could facilitate enhanced ambition and the full implementation of the Paris Agreement.
