The transition to a greener development path is expected to make increasing contributions to economic growth, poverty alleviation and environmental sustainability. In this view, international trade can play an enabling role in facilitating the emergence of green sectors. It is in this perspective that UNCTAD and the Republic of Moldova have initiated a National Green Export Review (NGER).
The First National Stakeholder Workshop of Moldova's NGER will take place on 7 September in Chisinau. Jointly organized by UNCTAD and Moldova's Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure, this event will bring together representatives from government, private sector and academia to collectively review a range of promising green sectors. During the workshop, participants will explore approaches to increase value added, diversify export markets, and boost production and exports of selected green goods and services. Discussions will make due reference to national development plans and priorities and producers' needs and perspectives.
As a result of the workshop, stakeholders will select the priority green sectors that will be further analyzed and supported in the framework of the NGER in the following months.
