Facilitating sustainable and inclusive trade for our planet

Joint WTO-ITC event


Virtual + Room W
05/07/2022 - 10:00-17:00

The World Trade Organization and the International Trade Centre will facilitate a discussion on how to contribute to an inclusive transition towards sustainable trade in the exchange of goods and services – one that generates economic, social, and environmental benefits. The event will bring together leaders, experts, and practitioners to discuss how sustainable trade can be facilitated to help companies and governments meet net-zero commitments made in the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in ways that support small businesses and poorer countries.
