COMMERCE ET ENVIRONNEMENT

Mettre le commerce au service de l'environnement, de la prospérité et de la résilience

Le commerce international offre des possibilités uniques pour aider à relever des défis environnementaux toujours plus pressants, tout en favorisant la prospérité économique et sociale. Cette nouvelle publication conjointe de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce et d'ONU Environnement montre comment le commerce peut soutenir l'action des pouvoirs publics, des entreprises, des innovateurs et des consommateurs en vue de renforcer les économies et de protéger l'environnement.

The publication highlights the need for coordinated action, along with fit-for-purpose policies and institutions, to expand the contribution of trade for a better and more resilient environment. It illustrates how the WTO and UN Environment are working together to support countries in identifying opportunities to use trade proactively to promote sustainability and prosperity, and to strengthen international co-operation to deliver benefits for all.

In a joint foreword to the publication, WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo and UN Environment Executive Director and Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Erik Solheim say: "Our aim is to shine a light on opportunities to bring trade and environment closer together, and to highlight the importance of close collaboration between governments, entrepreneurs, investors, scientists, environmental activists and civil society at large. In this way, we hope to strengthen the contribution of our two organizations towards the sustainable, resilient and prosperous world we all want."

Co-published by the WTO and UN Environment in 2018.
