Presentation on “Trade Agreements and Sustainable Development – What has been Achieved and What Remains Undone?” at 2022 CIBEL Global Network Conference, Online

Mexico - 10 August 2022

The theme for the first session was trade and sustainability. The conference was about how international trade and the rules-based global trading system are facing unprecedented challenges. Sustainability, in this context, concerns not only the pursuit of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) but also the sustainability of international institutions such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and of international relations between major trading partners. This session offered insightful discussions around the nexus between trade and SDGs, the role of the WTO in facilitating the achievement of SDGs and the importance of cooperation between states to trade, development and beyond.
