Remaking global trade governance: trade, climate and global cooperation in a fragmenting world

Monday, 22 June 2026 | 14:00 - 17:00 BST | London Climate Action Week 2026

As climate impacts intensify and geopolitical tensions reshape the global economy, global trade governance is entering a period of profound transformation.

Countries are increasingly using trade policy to pursue climate, industrial and security objectives. While this shift creates opportunities to accelerate the green transition, it also risks deepening fragmentation, straining multilateral institutions and exacerbating inequalities – particularly for developing countries facing structural constraints.

Join ODI Global, the Remaking Trade Project, the African Future Policies Hub, Forum on Trade, Environment, & the SDGs (TESS) and the LSE Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa during London Climate Action Week 2026 for a high-level conversation that will bring together policymakers, trade experts, academics and private sector representatives to explore how global trade governance must evolve to remain inclusive, sustainable and equitable in a multipolar world.
