FREE WEBINAR | Invisible Hands: How Net Zero Plans Are Rewriting Trade Rules, hosted by Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit.
Tuesday 8th July 2025, 13:00 – 14:00 BST.
Synopsis:
From clean industrial strategies to carbon border tariffs, climate policies are fast becoming the hidden drivers of global trade. This webinar explores how net zero plans in the UK, South Africa, and beyond are reshaping exports, jobs, and competitiveness. As carbon tariffs bite and clean tech booms, national climate ambition is now a trade imperative — not just an environmental one.
