→ How can 
#GlobalCooperation contribute to building out the #GVCs for the #EnergyFuture?
A #roadmap with 5 pillars for this:
Monitoring #GVCs
Defining and Strengthening #Standards
Leveraging #Fiscal Policies
Averting #ExportRestrictions
Aligning #Finance
Monitoring of #GVCs is of the essence to enable more #cooperative decision-making. From geological availabilities, country-specific #risks for people & environment, to new #mineral uses & early #bottleneck warnings, e.g.:

Defining and Strengthening technical, social, & environmental #Standards is key so that they mutually support each other: from 
#DueDiligence (
#CSDDD) & 
#Disclosures to #TechnicalStandards, e.g.: https://www.wto.org/english/res_e/booksp_e/energyfuture2021_e.pdf https://wedocs.unep.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.11822/36281/GITPF.pdf
To leverage #Fiscal Policies, international agreement on core principles needs to be advanced, e.g., on the role of #CarbonPricing & removing #FossilFuelSubsidies to increasing #FiscalSpace, f.ex. by implementing the OECD agreement on a global minimal corporate tax rate.
Averting #ExportRestrictions becomes crucial given current #geoeconomics and #RaceForGreenIndustries. They are often not WTO-conform & could lead to a vicious cycle of fear & retaliation.
Do: Increase #transparency & #predictability between and #diversity of trade partners.
Aligning #Finance is key for this. From #SustainabilityStandards in 
#CapitalMarkets, bank & non-bank lending to leveraging #PublicFinance, e.g.: #TradeFinance & #CommodityTrading: https://www.publiceye.ch/fileadmin/doc/Rohstoffe/20200928_PublicEye_TradeFinanceDemystified_E.pdf #ClimateFinance & #DebtRestructuring: https://justmoney.org/kevin-p-gallagher-no-time-for-another-lost-decade-why-debt-restructuring-must-be-linked-with-climate-and-development-goals/
