WTO TRAINING COURSES


MORE:

Participants have been selected from a list of nominated government officials currently involved in trade and/or environment work in their country. 

During this two-week programme, they will follow a series of lectures, participate in interactive discussions and simulation exercises on linkages between trade and environment policies, and learn more about relevant WTO disciplines and case law, environmental technologies and services, environmental requirements and market access, including forestry standards and carbon labelling. They will also discuss issues at the intersection of climate change and trade as well as the green economy and trade. The course will be conducted in an interactive way, with participants sharing their national experiences.

The WTO regularly organizes training activities on trade and environment for developing countries. In the last two years, three regional workshops have taken place in Asia, Africa (French-speaking African countries) and Latin America. The main objective of these workshops is to provide in-depth training on trade and environment, to provide an opportunity for information exchange on key issues, and to facilitate more effective participation of developing countries in WTO work on trade and environment. Topics of interest to the region are also included in the programmes.
