DELIVERING THE 2050 NET ZERO EMISSIONS TARGET

09:00 – 10:00 | PANELAccording to the OECD, about 70% of international trade today involves global value chains, as services, raw materials, parts, and components cross borders – often numerous times. The signifi-cant role GVC’s play in the world economy therefore amplified the requirement to make them sustainable in order to achieve the SDG’s.

This webinar will discuss the challenges, opportunities and solutions to meeting the Paris Agree-ment commitment and how GVC’s need to adapt quickly in this time of crisis in order to be more sustainable and support particularly those most vulnerable.
