SUMMARY:Invitation to webinar on Climate change vs trade: Securing common ground
DESCRIPTION:The Trade Promotion Council of India\, is organising a webinar Climate change vs trade: Securing common ground on Friday\, 27th August 2021 at 3:00 pm. This webinar explores the repercussions of climate change on global trade\, the inherent contradictions they lead to\, and how these may be resolved. \nThat climate change has been one of the most important challenges of the 21st century is inevitable. It is important because it not only affects the day to day lives of individuals as natural calamities like floods and forest fires become increasingly common\, but because it also poses threats to economies. The Swiss Re Institute warns that if global temperatures rise by 3.2°C\, it could dent 18% of GDP of the worldwide economy. \nFurther\, different industries will be exposed to the challenges that climate change brings. The food and beverage industry in the Indian subcontinent is one such industry. The National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture has found\, by 2080 there will be a noticeable dip in the yields of rice\, wheat and maize. Similarly\, Cotton 2040 states that by 2040\, 40% of cotton-producing regions are likely to see their growing seasons shortened\, while drought could hit half of the global crop. \nGiven the inevitable risks of climate change\, policies are being designed to intersect with international trade. For example\, the EU\, has announced plans to impose the first trade restrictions in the world for climate reasons. They are keen on levying an additional ‘carbon border tax’ on imports from countries that do not have strict norms for controlling industrial greenhouse gas emissions. This is bound to have an impact on foreign trade. Similarly\, the Biden administration has expressed support for the notion of a “polluter import fee” as one means of achieving that goal. \nKey takeaways from the session:\n• An understanding of the impact of the rise in GHG emissions on the global economy\n• The impact of policies like carbon border tax on global trade\n• Key industries and countries that could be affected\n• How companies can proactively make themselves environment smart\n• Key lessons for India from international examples \n  \nThe panellists for the session include:\n• Mr Pushkar Mukhewar\, Co-Founder & CEO\, Drip Capital\n• Mr. Chalasani Bhaskar\, Agripreneur\n• Dr Saon Ray\,Visiting professor at ICRIER\n• Dr Bandi Venkateswarlu\, Co-Chair DBT ‘Task Force’ (TEC) on Agri Biotechnology Member\, GEAC\, MoEF\, Govt.of India \n  \nTo register for the session\, please click\n\nhttps://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_A9I9XNYRRp-pSUhI14gJiw

SUMMARY:Webinar on Marine exports Rejuvenating Indias blue economy
DESCRIPTION:The Trade Promotion Council of India\, is organizing a webinar on India’s Marine exports: Rejuvenating India’s blue economy  on Wednesday\, 11th August 2021 at 3:00 pm. \nOver the last few decades\, India has managed to catapult itself as the second-largest producer of inland fish in the world and accounts for about 14% of the global fish diversity. Yet\, the sector is not able to reach its true export potential as fish and fish products stemming from India constitute around 10% of total global exports. \nThe sector lags in areas like value addition due to critical gaps in the supply chain including the seasonal nature of wild catch\, stiff international competition from some of the other Asian economies\, the challenges posed by global warming and pollution of aquatic bodies\, and low average utilization of processing capacity. The pandemic has further added to the woes of the sector as there has been a slump in India’s seafood exports. \nThis webinar dives into the challenges that the sector grapples with\, mechanisms for their possible resolution and the roadmap for post-COVID rejuvenation. \n  \nKey takeaways from the session:\n• An understanding of India’s current marine exports – key products\, markets & challenges. \n• Impact of COVID-19 on the sector and strategies to cope with it. \n• India’s competitiveness as a marine exporter. \n• Climate change as a threat to the sector. \n• The key areas for foreign investment potential in the sector. \n• Role of a sustainable ocean economy in India’s post-pandemic growth. \n  \nThe panellists for the session include:\n• Vijaykumar Yaragal\, Executive Director\, National Fisheries Development Board \n• Chalasani Bhaskar\, Agri ESG Agripreneur \n• Dr. K. Sunil Mohamed\, Former Principal Scientist & Head\, Molluscan Fisheries Division\, Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute \n• Virat Bahri\, Deputy Director\, Trade Promotion Council of India and Editor\, India Business & Trade \n  \nTo register for the session\, click \nhttps://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_kbWXgXaLSz6aylJlhOlXiQ \n

SUMMARY:SEZs: The key to boost India’s exports
DESCRIPTION:Trade Promotion Council of India is organising a webinar on the topic SEZs: The key to boost India’s exports at 3:00 pm IST on Friday\, 11th June\, 2021. The session will be conducted with prominent experts in the domain of trade. \nIn February 2021\, the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry pointed out that SEZs have shown resilience during global trade volatility and have achieved US$ 100 billion of exports in FY 2019-20. Thus\, they continue to take the lead in expanding exports for India. However\, critics argue that Indian SEZs haven’t exactly mirrored the success of those in China. Given the fact that the government is busy preparing for the next SEZ policy and is most likely to retain and redraft the SEZ policy (which was found to be inconsistent with the WTO) as well as the international interest in supply chain diversification in the light of the pandemic\, we thought that this would make for an interesting topic for our viewers. \nThe panellists will talk about the performance of SEZs right from their evolution till this date\, the major considerations for the government while drafting the new SEZ policy\, experience of the gems and jewellery sector in SEZs\, making the SEZs sync with government’s recent initiatives and enhancing incentives\, manufacturing & exports. \n  \nConfirmed panellists\n1. Mr. ARM Reddy\, Zonal Development Commissioner\, Vishakhapatnam \n2. Mr. Sunil Rallan\, Chairman and Managing Director\, Chennai Free Trade Zone \n3. Mr. Neville Tata\, Executive Director\, Renaissance Jewellery Ltd \n4. Mr. Suvankar Sen\, Executive Director\, Senco Gold Ltd. \n5. Prof. Parthapratim Pal\, IIM Calcutta \n6.
