Launch of Action on Climate and Trade

The World Economic Forum (WEF), the World Trade Organization (WTO) Secretariat, and the World Bank Group (WBG) are leveraging their analytical and capacity building programs for a collaboration known as “Action on Climate and Trade” (ACT). The collaboration will provide participating economies with climate action analysis specific to their trade flows and national circumstances. It will be accompanied by public-private dialogue to help stakeholders act on trade for climate mitigation and adaptation.
