Core Viewpoint - The global green transition is irreversible, and there is a need to oppose unilateralism and "green protectionism" while promoting a collaborative and fair global governance framework to facilitate the free flow of green trade [1][2]. Group 1: Challenges in Global Green Trade - The urgency of addressing climate change and the significant market potential of green industries are driving strong trade demand, but fragmented green standards and unilateral measures like carbon tariffs are creating new trade barriers [1][2]. - Trade protectionism is identified as the biggest obstacle to green development, with the fragmentation of global green trade rules raising concerns about increased trade costs and uncertainties [3][4]. Group 2: International Cooperation and Standards - There is a consensus that countries lack sufficient agreement and clarity on rules regarding green transition and international cooperation, necessitating the sharing of China's green development experience and technology globally [2][4]. - The establishment of a collaborative governance mechanism involving governments, enterprises, and international organizations is essential to address the challenges posed by fragmented rules [5]. Group 3: Corporate Initiatives and Innovations - Multinational companies emphasize that technological innovation and collaboration across the entire industry chain are fundamental to breaking down barriers and achieving green development [5][6]. - Companies like BMW and Cargill are actively working on creating transparent green rules and standards, with Cargill focusing on sustainable agricultural practices and BMW advocating for comprehensive carbon footprint assessments [5][6]. - Chinese private enterprises are also taking significant steps in promoting green practices abroad, such as replacing fuel vehicles with electric ones in Africa and supporting local supply chains [6].
