Building partnerships for trade, environment and prosperity

The world today is more interconnected than ever before. The sheer scale and scope of global value chains have created a new landscape for business and trade, influencing how and where goods and services are produced and consumed. Countries are much more linked to one another and developing countries are playing an increasing role in international trade. In parallel, the frequency and intensity of climate change and climate-related natural disasters has intensified, at times causing disruptions to production networks.
