International Cooperation on Trade, Climate, and Sustainable Development at the WTO: Pragmatic Options & Unconventional Thinking

To open Geneva Trade Week 2024, this public event will focus on how to foster urgently-needed multilateral cooperation and collective action on the nexus of trade, climate, and sustainable development at the WTO.

The event will bring together a diverse group of leading international experts and Geneva-based ambassadors to the WTO to share their views on both pragmatic options and unconventional ideas on ways forward.

Building on the growing engagement of WTO members in discussions on trade, climate and sustainability and the broad recognition of the need to forge collaboration, the focus of the panel is to spur discussion on a proactive, forward-looking agenda: How can we enhance international cooperation on trade at the WTO to drive action on the Paris climate goals in ways that support sustainable development priorities?
