Trade, Energy Export Dependence, and the Whole-of-Economy Transition Away from Fossil Fuels

This private discussion will be chaired by Dr. Stephen Hammer, Perry World House, Institute for Urban Research and Kleiman Center for Energy Policy joint fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. Experts will tackle the questions governments and financiers are asking but rarely discussing candidly: what does transitioning away from fossil fuels actually cost — and pay — in trade competitiveness, fiscal revenue, and economic structure? Building on the momentum of the April 2026 Santa Marta TAFF Conference, this session moves the conversation from principle to practice, bringing together the ministers, MDB and DFI practitioners, and private finance leaders shaping how countries navigate the transition on the ground.
