Trade-related climate priorities for CARICOM at the World Trade Organization

The document identifies the Caribbean region as highly vulnerable to rising global temperatures while facing declines in global trade competitiveness. It argues that CARICOM countries should leverage the World Trade Organization's new sustainability agenda to formulate and promote regional priorities for climate mitigation, adaptation, and climate-resilient sustainable development, countering the current dominance of advanced economies in these multilateral discussions.

• CARICOM small island developing states are among the most vulnerable globally to rising temperatures and face significant environmental, economic, and infrastructural losses, while simultaneously experiencing declines in global competitiveness and participation in global value chains.
• Current international discussions on trade and climate change, including those at the WTO, are primarily driven by the policies and proposals of advanced economies, necessitating a bottom-up approach to identify developing country priorities.
