Event Description

The U.S. Chamber’s International Affairs Division is pleased to host an invitation-only private roundtable with John Podesta for our members on March 9th to discuss how U.S. international engagement on climate and sustainability will shape trade, investment and development policies in major markets.

In advance of the April 22 Global Climate Leaders’ Summit hosted by the United States, we will focus on the most important bilateral and multilateral trade relationships that will be critical to sustainable trade as an engine of resilient global recovery.
