MENU OF VOLUNTARY ACTIONS

The 'Menu of Voluntary Actions' outlines eight strategic areas where members of the Coalition of Trade Ministers on Climate intend to coordinate trade-related actions to address the climate crisis, focusing on inter-ministerial dialogue, WTO engagement, support for vulnerable developing countries, and private sector collaboration.

• The Coalition aims to integrate trade, climate, and finance policies by fostering joint Ministerial-level dialogue and engaging in the nexus of trade, climate, and sustainable development at the WTO and UN Climate Change Conferences.
• Members intend to use the WTO to address domestic climate measures, incentivize sustainable production via non-distortionary trade policies, and share practices for disseminating climate technologies.
• The Coalition prioritizes support for the most vulnerable developing countries, including least developed countries, small island developing states, and landlocked developing countries, through capacity building, Aid for Trade, and technical assistance to support climate adaptation and just transitions.
• Cooperation efforts will target specific themes including green hydrogen, renewable energy access, sustainable agriculture, and the measurement of embodied carbon content in traded goods.
• The strategy includes engaging private sector leaders and micro, small and medium size enterprises (MSMEs) to promote women's empowerment and develop resilient supply chains for climate mitigation and adaptation.
