The seminar on the Vulnerability of International Trade to the Carbon Footprint was held in Santiago, Chile, from 2-3 September 2010. It was organized by the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the Regional Cooperation Delegation for the Southern Cone and Brazil of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the European Commission. Approximately 200 participants from 15 countries attended the seminar, including government officials and representatives of international organizations, industry and non-governmental organizations, as well as carbon footprint experts.
The seminar provided an opportunity to engage in a regional dialogue over issues related to the use of carbon footprint regulations and their impacts on exports from Latin America. Presentations were made on national legislation and policy, as well as on private sector initiatives regarding the carbon footprint in Europe, the US, New Zealand and several Latin American countries. This provided participants with the opportunity to understand new regulations and debate the potential impacts and effects of these on exports from Latin America.
