This guide aims to support policymakers in incorporating trade-related measures into NDCs and mainstreaming these measures in relevant national strategies, such as export or industrialization strategies. Trade and trade-related policies can help to advance climate plans, including NDCs, by facilitating the energy transition and the economic and social transformations to low-carbon economies, enhancing the market for carbon-efficient products, and facilitating the phasing out of unsustainable economic activities.
