UNCTAD Multi-agency Project: Global BioTrade Facilitation Programme

Guidelines to help governments, companies and consumers benefit from sustainable trade in precious plants and animals now include elements such as climate resilience and marine biodiversity.

A small business making natural products from jujube and tamarind has kept its doors open and workers safe thanks to sustainability principles adopted before the pandemic.

UNCTAD coordinates activities to link trade with the sustainable use of biodiversity and maximize benefits.

Biodiversity is our world. It's all around us. It's the air we breathe and the food we eat. A rich biodiversity helps the fight against the climate crisis.
