European climate risk and trade policy forum

Europe has some of the world’s most outward-facing economies, but its high level of interconnectivity renders the continent particularly exposed to events that manifest beyond its borders.

The European climate risk and trade policy forum will be an online roundtable focused on exploring the policies, programmes and strategic public-private partnerships that could enhance the resilience of Europe’s supply chains, in ways that deliver wider benefits for workers and their communities.

Programme

The sessions run on Wednesday 20 September from 13:00 to 16:30 CEST and Thursday 21 September from 10:00 to 13.00 CEST.

Convening a select group of 30-40 European policymakers, business leaders, NGO representatives, and experts, these two half-day online dialogues, will consider the following critical questions:

  • How prepared are European businesses for their supply chains to be disrupted by climate change? Which specific measures are they taking?
  • To what extent do low cost, efficient logistics and high-quality manufacturing in high climate-risk regions offset the risks associated with increasing exposure to climate hazards and their cascading effects?
  • What are the policy levers that governments can use to embed climate adaptation in European trade relations and supply chains? Which governments are leading on this?
