The objectives of the dialogue, which is hosted by ICTSD and the Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS), are to explore issues at the interface of trade and climate change that are of concern and interest to the emerging economies; to identify a positive agenda to help developing countries engage in the climate change negotiations in light of developments at Copenhagen; and to provide a platform for interaction among key players in a non-negotiating setting. Thematic subjects for the day will be competitiveness and border measures, technology transfer and intellectual property rights issues and the diffusion of environmental goods and services. Presentations on these subjects will be followed by open discussions. For more information, please email Mahesh Sugathan at smahesh@ictsd.ch.
