Description
Trade related shocks can have profound local consequences, triggering plant closures, mass layoffs, and long term employment losses in regions economically reliant on a small number of exposed industries. This session explores how local policymakers and partners can move from reactive responses to proactive strategies. It will examine how to anticipate and manage economic disruptions, support displaced workers and seize opportunities for renewal by promoting job creation in growing sectors, investing in reskilling and upskilling, and fostering entrepreneurship.
