Enabling a "Green Seize" of New Trade Opportunities for LDCs: Learning from the COVID-19 response to address the climate emergency (WTO with ODI, EIF)

MTAVARES1 — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Sunday, 03 December 2023 - 9:00am

3 December 2023. The Least Developed Countries (LDCs) account for less than 1% of global exports but almost 15% of global population.
The Sustainable Development Goals included a goal to double their share in world exports by 2020, but this target was not met. Given the urgent need to confront the climate emergency between now and 2030, a number of new green trade measures will shape low-carbon global supply chains; resilience building within supply chains is also determining new trade opportunities. There are many lessons that can be drawn from the Covid-19 experience to ensure gainful LDC participation within green resilient supply chains – this includes ensuring open markets, facilitating technology transfers, and supporting engagement with the private sector. This session will therefore focus on the role of the multilateral trading system in supporting LDCs to engage with the new trade opportunities arising from shift to low carbon supply chains - shifting the dynamics away from a potential “green squeeze” to a “green seize” of new market opportunities for LDCs.

Maximising the gains from digital trade: solutions and priorities for developing countries and LDCs - EIF and Commonwealth Secretariat

MTAVARES1 — Wed, 02 Nov 2022 17:00:00 +0000

Wednesday, 02 November 2022 - 1:00pm

2 November 2022. 15:00-17:30 CEST

Hybrid. The in-person location is Room S2, World Trade Organization, Geneva, Switzerland.

"Organised jointly by the Commonwealth Secretariat and the Enhanced Integrated Framework, this hybrid event will explore the challenges and opportunities for developing countries and least developed countries (LDCs) in the digital trade space.

Rapid digitalisation and the emergence of increasingly advanced digital technologies, ICT applications and data-driven solutions are changing the way goods and services are produced, supplied, traded and consumed across borders. However, entrepreneurs and firms in many developing countries, especially the least developed countries (LDCs), lack the tools and capacity to engage effectively in digital trade and risk missing out on the benefits available through participating more fully in the growing digital economy."

LDC5 Prepcom side-event: Productive Capacities for the New Decade

MTAVARES1 — Wed, 26 May 2021 13:00:00 +0000

Why is productive capacity central to the sustainable development of least developed countries (LDCs)? How can LDCs, with support from development partners, expand their productive capacity through domestic policies including efforts to build back better from COVID-19? How can the Fifth �鶹APP Conference on the LDCs (LDC5) contribute to these efforts through the new Programme of Action? These issues were discussed at a side event of the LDC5 Preparatory Committee on “Productive Capacities for the New Decade” held on 26 May 2021. The event was organized by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF), UN Committee for Development Policy (CDP) Secretariat and UN Technology Bank for Least Developed Countries.
