News: The Integrated Forum on Climate Change and Trade (IFCCT) was formally launched at COP30 on November 15 to manage climate–trade tensions.
About Integrated Forum on Climate Change and Trade (IFCCT)
- It is a high-level forum designed to foster dialogue and explore practical solutions at the intersection of international trade policy, climate action, and development priorities.
- Launching: The IFCCT was launched at COP30, Belém (Brazil), on 15 November 2025.
- Aim: The forum aims to bridge the gap between the climate and trade communities by providing a dedicated, politically supported space for government officials and stakeholders to discuss and align climate and trade policies.
- Principle used: The IFCCT is built on the principle that trade can be a key lever for turning climate ambition into action.
- Key features
- The Forum will begin with an open-ended consultation process into 2026 to define its topics and jurisdiction.
- The Forum brings together governments, civil society, business groups, and international initiatives to discuss climate-related trade tensions.
- It seeks interoperability rather than fragmentation in climate-related trade measures and aims to prevent trade becoming a fault line in global climate efforts.
