Summary of UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT Report: Powering Trade - Fine-tuning Trade Policy for Solar and Wind Energy Value Chains

The report underscores the critical need for renewable energy to combat climate change by decoupling economic prosperity from CO2 emissions and providing electricity to over 685 million people lacking access. It calls for accelerating renewable energy trade to support the 1.5°C warming limit, requiring global CO2 emissions to peak by 2025 and decline by 43% by 2030. Despite solar and wind capacity growth and rising trade, barriers like tariffs and non-tariff measures hinder expansion, with developing regions often exporting raw materials facing higher costs and less value addition. Trade policy reforms, such as reducing intermediates trade costs, fostering regional trade in Africa and Latin America, and re-evaluating trade defense measures, can boost renewable energy growth. Action recommendations include re-balancing trade policies to address fiscal concerns, promote value addition, and enhance global participation through South-South trade.
