Since the inception of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, there has been a greater push to ensure that global economic growth is climate smart. It is a fact that the LDCs, LLDCs and SIDS that contributed least to carbon emissions and climate change over the past few decades, disproportionately bear the burden of climate change impacts. In the words of UNCTAD Secretary-General, Ms. Rebeca Grynspan, to help these nations to grow in an environmentally sustainable manner, “the international community must consider [LDCs] development needs and fully support them to ensure a just, balanced and sustainable low-carbon transition.” ASYCUDA supports developing countries to achieve their green growth aspirations, through the delivery of cutting-edge IT solutions to facilitate trade. It helps countries to: establish paperless and contactless clearance processes; achieve green transport and logistics; improve clearance times, reduce trade costs and emissions; and enforce environmental regulations.
