Commodities amid the Climate Emergency: Sustainable Trade and Value Addition
The Global Commodities Forum - organized by UNCTAD with the support of its partners - is a major multi-stakeholder meeting to discuss and find pragmatic solutions to perennial problems of the commodity economy.
The Forum is a free, public platform to debate critical issues at the intersection of commodities and development. It helps frame international policy discussions on commodities and features developing countries' challenges and experts.
The forum will take place over two days, with four sessions dedicated to, among other topics:
- Adaptation to the energy transition in fossil fuel-dependent developing countries.
- Promoting natural fibres in the climate action agenda.
- Fostering Sustainable Trade in Agricultural Commodities: The Role of Standards and Traceability.
- Critical minerals and the energy transition.
Registration and attendance are free of charge, but registration through UNCTAD website is mandatory for all participants, including invited government representatives, experts, and speakers.
