TRADE + SUSTAINABILITY HUB

Agenda

Our Trade + Sustainability Hub provided a space for civil society and those with a stake in trade policy to convene these conversations, bringing their distinct perspectives, priorities, and approaches to the key question of finding a way back to cooperation on trade policy.

Within its overall theme, conversations at the Hub focused on three key issues:

1. Climate Action, Industrial Policy, and Subsidies: Are we spending wisely?

2. Trade Rules to Protect the Natural World: How do we allocate the burden of change?

3. Development and Inclusion in Trade: What would a fairer system look like?

You can learn more about these themes on our About page. Below are the sessions that were presented at the Hub.
