AIG Global Trade Series 2023 Podcast Episode 2

SUBSIDY WARS: Is the Climate Agenda driving a wedge through Global Trade Cooperation?

Announcement

The United States Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which combines climate policy and industrial policy, caused immediate concerns in Europe. With significant implications for European competitiveness and impact on its Green Deal ambitions, the EU responded primarily with state aid rules relaxation to encourage European green tech firms to stay put.
How will the EU and the US resolve this green subsidy dispute? How can trade and the climate agenda go together? With an increased use of subsidies by the US and Europe, what are the broader implications for the future of multilateral rules-based trade?’
