However\, the radical technological transformation that will nee d to take place in the attempt to reduce global greenhouse emissions to ne t zero by around 2050\, also offers important opportunities to developing economies. Shifting from a world economy based on fossil fuels to one bas ed on clean energy will change value chain configurations\, power relation s and economic geographies in ways that we have only begun to understand. Understanding the implications of such an unprecedented shift for developi ng economies and shaping a policy framework able to foster green transitio n along with industrial transformation and economic development is of prim ary importance. Since 2022\, UNCTAD has been implementing a project entit led “Integrated Policy Strategies and Regional Policy Coordination for R esilient\, Green and Transformative Development: Supporting Selected Asian BRI Partner Countries to Achieve 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda”. The project aims to assist partner countries for their green structural tr ansformation through providing policy analysis and strategies\, building i nstitutional capacities\, and enhancing regional economic cooperation arou nd green development. This regional meeting will focus on policy experien ce sharing and peer-learning among China\, project countries and other dev eloping economies on the topic of green development. It will pool togethe r high-level government officials\, UN and other international organizatio ns experts\, renowned scholars and business leaders to exchange view on th e challenges facing developing countries in addressing the challenges from climate changes and cascading crises\, and how to formulate better policy strategies and regional cooperation to achieve Sustainable Development Go als through green and structural transformation.<\;p>\;<\;!-- ###### # HEY\, I AM THE SOURCE EDITOR! #########-->\;&\;nbsp\;<\;/p>\;&l t\;p>\;The covid-19 pandemic and cascading crises have acutely exposed t he vulnerabilities of developing countries with severely squeezed fiscal s pace\, food and fuel crises\, debt distresses\, supply chain disruption\, among others.<\;/p>\;<\;p>\;&\;nbsp\;<\;/p>\;<\;p>\;Add ed to those pressing challenges\, developing countries are disproportionat ely affected by climate change and consequences such as rising global mean surface temperatures\, rising sea levels\, more frequent extreme weather events and associated economic and social damages\, which calls for taking measures to adapt to the changing situation.<\;/p>\;<\;p>\;&\; nbsp\;<\;/p>\;<\;p>\;Meanwhile\, developing countries also need to advance the green low-carbon transition of their economy so as to fulfill the commitments under the Paris Agreement.
