21 November 2024. "This session seeks to highlight some practical entry points within the global green transition to assist in more of a green ease than a squeeze: securing new market opportunities for the LDCs. It aims to cover the following non-exhaustive thematic areas:

– Technology transfer
– Carbon pricing, including taxation
– Sustainability standards
– Environmentally friendly goods and services
– Connecting stakeholders with new sources of investment and finance

The overarching objective is to change some of the current dynamics and move away from a potential green squeeze to green ease: a transformative agenda that boosts green credentials, competitiveness and sustainable structural economic transformation."
