Trade monitoring
What we do
The WTO operates the global system of trade rules, guaranteeing WTO member governments important trade rights.
Conclusion
The clean energy transition is critical to achieve net zero goals and is a key element of most economies’ nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement, to keep global warming under a 1.5° Celsius threshold. The clean energy transition also has trade integration potential, as it helps to advance industrial development and addresses capacity constraints in energy generation capacity.
