CSE’s @aygoswami spoke at the side event ‘Climate and Trade Cooperation for Climate-resilient Development’ during the Bonn Climate Conference (SB64).
In her intervention, she underscored five principles that should guide the upcoming Trade-Climate Dialogue at the conference. These are listed in CSE’s new brief ‘An Equitable Trade-Climate Agenda’ available here: cseindia.org/an-equitable-tr….
1. Development as a central objective: Trade–climate cooperation must explicitly recognise industrialisation, value addition, and structural transformation in developing countries as legitimate and necessary climate pathways.
2. Operationalising differentiation: Principles such as common but differentiated responsibilities and special and differential treatment must be translated into concrete design features of trade–climate instruments.
3. Preserving and/or enlarging policy space: Countries must retain the ability to deploy green industrial policy tools—subsidies, public procurement, localisation measures, and strategic regulation—to build domestic clean technology capacity.
4. Green technology as a global public good: Rapid and affordable diffusion of climate-critical technologies requires greater flexibility in intellectual property regimes and proactive international cooperation.
5. Multilateralism over unilateralism: Cooperative, transparent, and inclusive approaches must be prioritised over unilateral trade measures that risk fragmenting markets and deepening inequities.
The event was jointly organized by the @IDOS_research @SeatiniU and @TESSForum.

CSE Climate Change and Green Economy retweeted
Mid-year climate talks - better known as the Bonn Climate Conference 2026 - opens as the first major UN climate gathering since COP30, setting the stage for crucial negotiations ahead of COP31 in Türkiye.
With adaptation, climate finance, fossil fuel transition, and implementation high on the agenda, delegates face the challenge of advancing climate action amid rising geopolitical tensions.
The conference is also expected to amplify calls for equitable, inclusive pathways that address the priorities and realities of the Global South, writes @SehrRaheja.

📝Indonesia and Mexico submitted some of the most detailed forest plans.
Indonesia highlighted its social forestry programme, while Mexico aims for zero net deforestation by 2030 and identifies pasture expansion as the main driver of forest loss.

🏦The submissions reveal that the debate is no longer only about ambition.
It's increasingly about who pays, how the two transitions are financed, and how countries balance climate goals with development priorities.
