Webinar cop 30-Towards a New, Green World

Faced with a race by the Global North and China to control minerals and green technologies of the future, a trade regime under strain, and fragmented multilateralism, the Global South is facing a deep crisis today. It cannot be left behind in the global competition to build a new, green economy.

In 1992, CSE’s publication Towards a Green World examined the governance of environment through the lens of global aid, trade and debt barriers, highlighting how developing countries were thrown into a dilemma: choose between stringent global environmental norms and development. Thirty years later, the dilemma extends to decarbonisation.

Today the Global South needs to reinvent its narrative on climate action, centering economic resilience alongside decarbonisation.

In our new three-part discussion paper Towards a New, Green World, we bring together the decarbonisation and economic resilience questions. Through three briefs -- agriculture and forest commodities, critical minerals, and clean technology manufacturing -- we ask how developing countries can participate and stay afloat in the new, green economy.

Join us for the discussion and the online release of this paper series.
