CALL FOR PAPERS: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSITION, 16-17 JANUARY, 2026
NLUO, CENTRE FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW In collaboration with WTO CHAIRS PROGRAMME, CENTRE FOR TRADE AND INVESTMENT LAW
About the Conference
The International Conference on the Role of International Trade in Global Energy Transition, hosted by National Law University Odisha (NLUO) in collaboration with the Centre for Trade and Investment Law (CTIL) and the WTO Chairs Programme (WCP), will examine how international trade can catalyse a just and sustainable energy transition. As trade becomes increasingly integral to clean energy markets, facilitating the exchange of green hydrogen, biofuels, and critical minerals like lithium and cobalt, it also presents challenges, including high tariffs, technological inequities, protectionism, and regulatory fragmentation. The conference will critically assess the intersection of WTO norms, preferential trade agreements, and national policy tools such as local content requirements and subsidies to understand their impact on clean energy goals.
Venue- The conference will be held in physical mode at the National Law University, Odisha.
