Towards model regional trade agreement provisions for trade in essential supplies in
times of crisis
UNCTAD trade policy dialogues provide a forum for candid discussion on topical issues in international trade policy from a development perspective.
This session, organized in partnership with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), examines the implications of the COVID-19 crisis on essential supplies and how regional trade agreements (RTAs) could help better address the kind of supply shortages experienced during the height of the pandemic.
The session is held as part of the webinar series Towards model provisions for trade in times of crisis (28-30 October and 2 November), organized by ESCAP in cooperation with UNCTAD, the World Trade Organization, FAO and the other UN regional commissions.
