Description
The workshop aims to foster collaboration between CARICOM trade and climate change negotiators by examining the intersections between climate and trade obligations.

The workshop will also address the challenges and opportunities these intersections present for the region. Additionally, it will explore CARICOM's priorities for upcoming COP meetings and the submission of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), highlighting how trade tools can help CARICOM states meet their climate targets.
