SUMMARY:Webinar on the Commodities and Development Report 2023
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Inclusive economic diversification and energy transitionThis we
 binar was jointly organized by UNCTAD and the School of Business and Creat
 ive Industries\, University of the West of Scotland (UWS).&quot\;Inclusive
  economic diversification and energy transition&quot\; is the theme of the
  UNCTAD Commodities and Development Report launched in October 2023.This r
 eport highlights that most developing countries depend heavily on exportin
 g commodities\, and they are often very vulnerable to various shocks such 
 as fluctuations in exchange rates\, drop in commodity prices\, pandemics\,
  and conflicts. As a result\, these so-called commodity-dependent developi
 ng countries (CDDCs) have volatile incomes and slow growth in productivity
 . Their limited range of commodities exported also affects public revenue 
 and the potential for investing in sustainable development. The main obje
 ctive of this webinar was to inform participants about the key findings an
 d messages of the UNCTAD&#039\;s Commodities and Development Report 2023. 
 This webinar was also an opportunity to receive feedback on the report and
  seek for guidance of the issues that could be explored in the forthcoming
  UCDRs.This webinar was conducted in English (without translation) online 
 via the Zoom platform.https://unctad.org/publication/commodities-and-devel
