Description
Event Brief:
Trade is a fundamental component of the 2030 Development Agenda, most prominently anchored through Goal 17 on global partnerships as a key means of implementation for delivering on each of the goals. The true value of trade is interwoven throughout the SDGs, with explicit trade targets across SDG 2 on zero hunger, SDG 3 on good health and well-being, SDG 8 on decent work and economic growth, SDG 10 on reduced inequalities, SDG 12 on responsible consumption and production, and SDG 14 on life below water, and even more deeply underpinning targets in almost all of the SDGs.
In an ideal world, Trade works best when everyone benefits.  The Webinar is aimed at advancing dialogue on the need for stakeholders to develop inclusive approaches to international trade that seek to ensure that the benefits and opportunities that flow from trade are more widely shared, including with under-represented groups such as women, SMEs, and indigenous peoples, bearing in mind that trade policies and agreements need to respond and contribute more meaningfully to broader economic, social and environmental policy priorities.
