This third book prepared under the auspices of the WTO Chairs Programme (WCP), Adapting to the digital trade era: challenges and opportunities, contains contributions from the WTO Chairholders of Phases I and II, Advisory Board (AB) members, WCP team and WTO staff members who peer reviewed individual chapters and offered their perspectives on the Chairs’ analyses and findings. It contains a total of 16 chapters and 13 commentaries, providing various insights on digital trade. Several chapters were presented as working papers during the Aid for Trade side event held at the WTO from 3 to 5 July 2019 and during an academic WCP session held at the Public Forum on 9 October 2019. These events provided opportunities to AB members, academics, delegates, policymakers and representatives from civil society to comment on the papers and discuss the policy options emanating from the analyses.
