Aid for trade in Action
The transition to clean energy offers opportunities for developing economies and least-developed countries (LDCs) to exploit the export potential of this transition and to accelerate their growth prospects. The WTO-led Aid for Trade initiative provides significant support to these economies to help them develop their energy sectors and transition to clean energy. However, sustained support is required to ensure that firms benefit from the trade opportunities that will emerge as a result of the clean energy transition. This report highlights the role that Aid for Trade can play in mobilizing financial resources to deliver targeted assistance and to help developing economies unlock export opportunities created by clean energy. It also underlines the role of development partners in helping firms integrate into clean energy value chains by investing in the production of clean energy technologies, such as green hydrogen and solar power.

Antecedentes históricos y tendencias actuales
Los acuerdos comerciales preferenciales (ACP) existen desde hace siglos, mucho antes de la creación del Acuerdo General sobre Aranceles Aduaneros y Comercio (GATT) en 1947. En esta sección se presenta un amplio panorama de la evolución de estos acuerdos. La sección comienza con un relato histórico del proceso encaminado a una mayor apertura e integración económica que se inició con las redes comerciales de mediados del siglo XIX. Se señalan los múltiples contratiempos y retrocesos que han tenido lugar en el proceso y, por último, se hace referencia a las diferentes “oleadas” de acuerdos que han acompañado al sistema multilateral de comercio desde su creación. Se destaca que ha existido una tensión creativa entre los enfoques regional y multilateral que, aunque con frecuencia ha resultado complicada, en términos generales ha impulsado la apertura del comercio y la integración económica.
