At the same\, developing countries are s eeking to foster climate resilient development pathways\, particularly the most vulnerable. This requires transformative approaches with large publi c investments and support to scale up renewable energy supply and efficien cy\, introducing infrastructure adaptation programs\, and novel green indu strial and services policies to drive growth\, value addition\, economic d iversification and job creation.\n\nThe European Union Green Deal and the United States Inflation Reduction Act are examples of a new direction for the world’s largest economies\, with a strong emphasis on industrial dec arbonization to achieve Paris Agreement targets. Developing countries need to reflect on what type of industrial and trade policy and cooperation fo r climate action is available and would make sense for them in today’s c ontext. What are some of the principles that all countries need to conside r when designing trade-related climate policies to enable a just transitio n?\n\n \n\nClimate action\, industrial policy\, and subsidies: Are we spe nding wisely?\n\nModerator and opening remarks\n\n\nMs. Chantal Line Carpe ntier\, Head of Trade\, Environment and Sustainable Development Branch\n\n \nPanelists\n\n\nMr. Asad Naqvi\, Head of the Economic and Trade Policy Un it\, UNEP\nMs. Ute Collier\, Acting Director\, Knowledge\, Policy\, and Fi nance Centre (KPFC)\, IRENA\nMs. Carolyn Deree Birkbeck\, Executive Direct or Forum on Trade\, Environment &\; the SDGs (TESS)\nMr. Dan Esty\, Hil lhouse Professor at Yale University Yale\n\n\n \n<\;h4>\;<\;strong& gt\;IISD Trade Hub event<\;/strong>\;<\;/h4>\;\n\n<\;p>\;Devel oping countries are disproportionately affected by climate change\, which has significant economic and social impacts due to climate-related events and disasters.<\;/p>\;\n\n<\;p>\;To limit future climate change im pacts\, all countries must transition to net-zero emissions by the middle of this century.
