the UNGPs to the work of Export Credit Agencies – based on very concrete work from one Export Credit
Agency both in relation to their own responsibility to respect human rights and to their application in
concrete projects (it is possible that 1 or 2 concrete pilots can be demonstrated at the side event).
(...) Modality:
To enable a focused discussion, the side event will start off with a short presentation of a specific Export
Credit Agency's recent work with aligning their practices with the UNGPs.
