SUMMARY:COP30 side event: Affordable access to technologies vital to achiev
 ing climate goals
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Technology transfer has been part of international treaties and
  UN outcome documents for decades\, including in relation to climate mitig
 ation and adaptation goals.  Yet technologies that are vitally needed to 
 accelerate climate action\, do not flow to those that need them the most a
 nd uptake of such technologies is limited by a range of factors.Trade has 
 a key role to play as a transmission factor\, enabling cheaper access to t
 echnologies for which the domestic production might be too costly or too c
 omplex\, and trade cooperation will be vital to accelerate affordable acce
 ss\, but a broader focus will also be needed.  This session aims to focus
  attention on the range of factors key to boosting access to affordable te
 chnologies\, including the cost of capital\, skills\, regulatory environme
 nt\, investment\, trade policies\, as well as the role that the private\, 
 public\, academic sectors can play in supporting win-win solutions such as
  co-development\, production or partnerships on technology.Key Takeaways /
  Learning OutcomesHow an ecosystem of actors needs to come together to ens
 ure those that most need technologies and capacity building to implement c
 limate solutions have affordable access to them\, while ensuring co-benefi
 ts in regard to biodiversity and pollution priorities\, and to achievement
  of the SDGs.AgendaMs. Chantal Line Carpentier\, Head of the Trade\, Envir
