At CEP, I focused on how #trade policy can support sustainable prosperity - from #GVCs for #EnergyTransition to parliamentary roles in trade #governance. I explored how #TradeAgreements can foster international cooperation & balance economic, social, and environmental goals.

#itsg 2025: @inmamartinezz.bsky.social (Jaume 1): Stringency of domestic #environment #regulation is correlated with increase in #Trade from countries with less stringent policies. This is stronger for "dirty" industries, providing evidence for #PHH.

#itsg 2025: Christoph Ernst (ILO): trade war might undo progresses in the "green economy", causing major losses in terms of employment in green goods sectors. But, results likely specific to sector and labor force composition.

Open Source Ecology (OSE) has announced the OSE Fellowship: a four-year, $100k grant for young people aged 18-24 to learn and help develop the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) — a project that's developing a radical approach to re-build civilization from scratch using fully open source and […]
🌟 #TWINSEEDS is sparking conversations across media and academia: from circular fashion and the #GreenDeal to EU trade.
Our research is helping shape the debate on sustainability, trade, and GVCs!

Global value chains have a start (the lead firm) and an end (the final customer), with many steps in btw (subcontractors and their workers).
#GVCs enable costs compression through super fine-tuning intl division of labour, to increase profit margins with limited prices ⬆️ on end #markets.

El peso de #exportaciones de bienes a USA es muy dispar para distintos países #UE (la mayoría con superávit con USA) y, por tanto, también lo será el efecto de los mal llamados #aranceles recíprocos. Un cálculo correcto exigiría utilizar datos de comercio en valor añadido para tener en cuenta #GVCs

Does corporate due diligence truly advance decent work in global value chains? My new book chapter in The Elgar Companion to Decent Work and the Sustainable Development Goals explores this question.

🚨 #GlobalValueChains don’t widen the gender pay gap but do increase job insecurity, especially for women !
WP3 findings show rising labor inequalities: job polarization, precarious work for women, and worsening conditions.

Regions prosper in #GVCs by building on what they do well, say @eduherro.bsky.social, Boschma, @andrea-morrison.bsky.social & Ye in PiRS.
Functional specialisation, rooted in related capabilities, determines whether they climb up the ladder or languish in low-complexity traps

💡 Authors' key point: Informal talks could help prevent destructive #competition, balance national interests on local #development with #trade in the #GVCs for the #EnergyTransition, and create a 🤝 win-win for countries and the climate.

🔎 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.:
