UNCTAD MC10 event: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the future of the Multilateral Trading System


16 December 2015
Sarova Stanley Hotel
Nairobi
, Kenya

The objective of this High-Level Panel that is organized jointly with the Commonwealth Secretariat, is to support and inform developing countries of the potential interaction between the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the multilateral trade system. Now that the 2030 Agenda has been agreed, there is a need to transform these aspirations into an implementation agenda, including within the realm of trade policy.

In this regard, the following questions come to mind:
  • To what extent can regional trade integration help to advance the 2030 Agenda and complement multilateral efforts?
  • What difference can the 2030 Agenda really make in relation to the reform and advancement of the multilateral trading system?
  • Given the experiences of the Millennium Development Goals, especially in least developed countries and African countries, how can the 2030 Agenda be more effectively implemented?
  • How will the 2030 Agenda relate to the trade challenges of Small Vulnerable Economies, in addition to those of Small Island Developing States, as defined by the Samoa Pathway?

This event will followed by a reception hosted by the Commonwealth Secretariat.
