Integrating Trade Policy into Climate Action

Emily Lydgate calls for a shift in how we think about trade and climate, emphasising the need to "move away from the siloed approach and think about putting these issues together." In this video filmed as part of the Sussex Beacons series, Emily highlights the complexity of the global economy and its intricate supply chains, noting how this offers some hope: "Where there are trade frictions, there are also mutual dependencies. And whenever you have mutual dependencies you have a dynamic environment that supports the prospect of collaboration and cooperation to support a low carbon future”. The Sussex Beacons series are bite-sized talks that highlight the work happening across the University of Sussex.
