Discussions structur閑s

Commerce et durabilit?environnementale *

The Trade and Environmental Sustainability Structured Discussions (TESSD) were launched in November 2020 to advance discussions on trade and environmental sustainability. TESSD discussions are intended to complement work in the Committee on Trade and Environment and other relevant WTO bodies and to support the objectives of the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the WTO, which envisages a global trading system that protects and preserves the environment in accordance with sustainable development.
In a 2021 TESSD Ministerial Statement, co-sponsors recognized that international trade and trade policy can and must support environmental and climate goals, and agreed to identify concrete actions that participating Members could take individually or collectively to expand opportunities for environmentally sustainable trade.
Coordinated by Canada and Costa Rica, TESSD is open to all WTO Members and currently has 78 co‑sponsors participating in the discussions from all regions and at all levels of development.

Participation

There are currently WTO members participating in the Trade and Environmental Sustainability Structured Discussions, as co-sponsors of the initiative, including members from all regions and at all levels of development.

TESSD is an inclusive and transparent initiative, where meetings are open to all Members. Stakeholders from the business community, civil society, academic institutions as well as other international organizations play an important role in TESSD, supporting discussions with their technical expertise.

Ambassador Nadia Theodore (Canada) and Ambassador Ronald Saborío Soto (Costa Rica) jointly coordinate this initiative.

Scope and state of play of discussions

TESSD discussions take place in plenary meetings and in four informal Working Groups on (i) Trade-related Climate Measures (TrCMs); (ii) Environmental Goods and Services (EGS); (iii) Circular Economy – Circularity; and (iv) Subsidies. Working Groups are led by facilitators, who report back to TESSD plenary meetings.

At the 13th WTO Ministerial Conference (MC13) in Abu Dhabi in February 2024, TESSD presented substantive outcome documents of the four Informal Working Groups which are described below. The TESSD MC13 package furthermore included a Statement by the TESSD Co-convenors and an Updated TESSD Work Plan, which chart the way forward in the four Working Groups focusing on enhancing transparency, integrating development perspectives, and identifying best practices as well as opportunities for policymaking towards concrete outcomes by MC14.


Approach and overview of discussions: In the Working Group on TrCMs, Members share experiences on the use of TrCMs in achieving climate change objectives such as (a) decarbonization of industry and transport, including carbon measurement methodologies and standards, (b) climate change adaptation, and (c) clean energy transition. Discussions also aim to identify practical ways to enhance cooperation and pay particular attention to developing country perspectives.

Outcome document presented at MC13: Member Practices in the development of trade-related climate measures (TrCMs): Aims to inform and inspire WTO Membership on practices regarding (i) transparency and consultations, (ii) impact assessments, (iii) review following implementation, and (iv) design and implementation of TrCM policymaking. Such practices include to ensure that measures are not more trade restrictive than necessary; to ensure consistency with multilateral rules and principles under the WTO, the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement; and to provide TA and capacity building for the implementation of TrCMs to address specific needs of developing countries and MSMEs.

Priorities for 2025: In 2025, Members will continue discussions on the use and cooperation regarding TrCMs, aiming to complement and support work in the CTE. The Working Group will work towards a compilation and mapping of policy measures shared by Members, and the identification of practical ways to enhance cooperation.

Approach and overview of discussions: The Working Group on Environmental Goods and Services (EGS) pursues an objective‑based approach, discussing how trade in EGS can support the objectives of climate adaptation and mitigation. It examines sector-specific issues involved in the promotion and facilitation of trade in EGS, as well as the identification of climate-friendly technologies. Sectoral discussions have so far focussed on renewable energy and water management technologies. The Working Groups also examines cross‑sectoral approaches where appropriate, and particular attention is given to issues of interest to developing countries.

Outcome document presented at MC13: Analytical Summary of discussions on environmental goods and services and renewable energy, identifying (i) indicative lists of renewable energy goods and services, including goods such as photovoltaic cells for solar energy, gearboxes for wind turbines, generators for hydropower, and electrolysers for green hydrogen production, and services such as engineering, testing and analysis, environmental consulting, operation, maintenance and repair, and recycling. Further, Members identified (ii) trade barriers and supply chain bottlenecks, (iii) developing country perspectives and (iv) opportunities and approaches for promoting and facilitating trade in these goods and services.

Priorities for 2025: The Working Group will deepen work on renewable energy and add other sectors, including sustainable agriculture, while also addressing horizontal issues such as regulatory measures and development. It will further develop the Analytical Summary as their living outcome document, including the indicative TESSD list of EGS, and explore opportunities for collaboration and concrete actions that Members could undertake to promote and facilitate trade in EGS, including consideration of the possibility of guidelines, case studies or recommendations.

Approach and overview of discussions: In the Working Group on Circular Economy – Circularity, Members discuss trade-related aspects of circular economy along the entire lifecycle of products and share relevant policy experiences. Sectors covered include electronics, renewable energy, transport sectors, including batteries for electric vehicles, buildings and construction, and textiles.

Outcome document presented at MC13: Mapping Exercise: Trade and trade policy aspects along the lifecycle of products - provides a mapping of trade aspects of the circular economy and identifies possible trade-related actions in areas such as transparency; standards and regulations; trade facilitation; waste management; capacity building and technical assistance; technology and other trade-related aspects for cooperation.

Priorities for 2025: The Working Group will build on its mapping exercise and focus work on priority sectors (e.g. electronics, batteries, renewable energy, textiles) to develop a compilation of sector‑specific trade aspects and best practices as an outcome for MC14. Work on cross-sectoral, non-binding guidelines on circular economy and trade is also being considered.

Approach and overview of discussions: The Working Group on Subsidies discusses the potential positive and negative environmental effects of subsidies, as well as their trade impacts. Members also share their experiences with subsidy design and consideration on how to enhance transparency and data availability. Discussions covered agricultural subsidies, subsidies related to the transition to a low-carbon economy, biofuels, sustainable aviation fuels, green industrial subsidies and policy incentives along critical minerals supply chains.

Outcome document presented at MC13: Compilation of experiences and considerations regarding subsidy design relevant to agriculture and the low-carbon transition. For instance, in the design of subsidies for the low-carbon transition Members may balance between the positive effects for the transition to a low-carbon economy and the distorting effects on trade, as well as take into account how market distortions might disproportionately affect developing and least developed countries.

Priorities for 2025: Discussions will be enriched by the involvement of varied stakeholders, including the private sector, and pursue a balanced approach in line with Members interests in agricultural subsidies as well as industrial and related green subsidies. The Group will further develop the compilation of experiences and considerations into best practices for subsidy design and work towards recommendations on how to enhance transparency and data availability.
