The Green Trade Strategy also aligns with the Department of Homeland Security’s Strategic Framework for Addressing Climate Change. Pillar 1: Incentivizing Green Trade: Green Trade Innovation and Incentives ForumOne of the Green Trade Strategy’s four pillars is “Incentivizing Green Trade” – which means developing meaningful trade facilitation mechanisms and benefits to accelerate private sector climate mitigation and sustainability efforts. To further this goal, the Office of Trade’s Green Trade Division hosted the Green Trade Innovation and Incentives Forum on July 11, 2023. In support of the Green Trade Strategy, CBP’s Civil Enforcement Division enforces environmental laws working alongside organizations like the U.S. Part of the Green Trade Strategy looks to mitigate CBP’s impacts on the environment, turning operations and facilities greener.
