As governments and stakeholders work to develop policies that can promote the massive economic transformation that sustainability requires, there is increasing interest in the role that trade and trade policy can play. This effort has become even more urgent in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and calls to “build back better” through stimulus and recovery packages.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) highlight trade as a key means of implementation, and many SDGs have trade dimensions. Progress on achieving the SDGs and their underlying targets has been slow, however, despite public pressure for increased action by governments to respond to urgent global crises in biodiversity, climate, and pollution, and to take action to “green” the global economy and trade.
This webinar examined the above-mentioned considerations and will be held on June 24, 2021, at 3:30 p.m. CEST. The event will be co-hosted by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and the Forum on Trade, Environment and the SDGs (TESS).
The event also featured an introduction to a new joint publication (forthcoming) by IISD and TESS on Greening Aid for Trade.
