A new call to action urges countries to make BioTrade a lever for recovery and resilience in the wake of the pandemic.
The project is a point of convergence for conservation and sustainable use of marine resources, and a driver for a blue and green recovery from COVID-19.
Planned joint initiatives will improve the ability of countries in the Pacific to better tackle challenges such as climate change and pandemics such as COVID-19.
UNCTAD15, the UN trade and development body's fifteenth quadrennial conference, will take place under the theme “From inequality and vulnerability to prosperity for all” as the world seeks solutions for a global new normal.

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.
Increased cooperation expected in areas addressing migration and development, such as investment, enterprise development and entrepreneurship.
