On 28 July 2022 (17:30-19:00 CEST), the Forum on Trade, Environment and the SDGs (TESS), CUTS International Geneva, International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), and the Permanent Mission of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the United Nations Office, among others, will host Greening Aid for Trade: Priorities and Pathways for a Just Transition to Sustainable Trade during the 2022 Aid for Trade Global Review in Geneva.
As governments and stakeholders work to promote the massive economic transformation that sustainability requires, trade and trade policy have a critical role to play. Amidst growing pressure for increased action by governments to respond to urgent global crises in biodiversity, climate and pollution, there are also calls to “green” the global economy and trade.
To support developing countries in a just transition to more sustainable trade, Aid for Trade has a key role to play in ensuring that trade serves all three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental.
The webinar will tackle these issues and more.
