SUMMARY:Briefing session on climate change\, sustainable development goals 
 and trade: At the crossroads of sustainable development
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Three major negotiations involving climate change\, SDGs and tr
 ade will mark the 2015 development agenda:\n\n\n\nThe climate negotiations
 \, which will culminate in the summit in Paris\, in December 2015.\n\n\nTh
 e intergovernmental negotiations on post-2015 development agenda.\n\n\nThe
  Doha Round negotiations in the WTO.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile distinctly different
 \, all these negotiating tracks share a number of important policy &quot\;
 markers&quot\; with sustainable development. In all three\, it can be argu
 ed that trade serves as an enabler in the long run\, ensuring the implemen
 tation of any eventual agreement is inclusive within across countries.\n\n
 UNCTAD&#039\;s role will be affected by the outcomes of these negotiations
  as well as that of the 14th UNCTAD Conference (UNCTAD XIV) in Lima in 201
 6.\n\nIn the light of these negotiations\, and in view of the Durban Platf
 orm for Enhanced Action (ADP) negotiations taking place in Geneva\, this b
 riefing session aims to inform delegates about the issues at stake\, their
  linkages and possible impact on the environment\, trade and development.\
 n\n\nParticipation \n\nThe briefing may be of particular interest to trade
  policy officials and practitioners\, trade negotiators\, representatives 
 of environmental authorities\, business associations and private companies
  engaged in international trade and that are affected by environmental pol
 icies.\n\nExperts from international organizations dealing with issues rel
 evant to the briefing session will also be invited.\n\nSpecialized agencie
 s and intergovernmental bodies wishing to participate in the briefing sess
 ion\, as well as non-governmental organizations in the general category an
 d those in the special category wishing to participate as observers\, are 
 requested to inform the UNCTAD secretariat of the names of their represent
 atives.\n\n\n&lt\;p&gt\;Three major negotiations involving climate change\
