Remaking the Global Trading System for a Sustainable Future

2022 YPS Grant Project

This multi-year project brings together international trade thought leaders from different backgrounds, countries, disciplines, and perspectives to explore how the global trading system might better align with the international commitment to climate change action, and sustainable development more broadly. Starting with a deep dive on critical issues illuminated through a series of academically rigorous white papers, the project will host a sequence of workshops to frame options and pathways for reforming the World Trade Organization rules and procedures. This will provide a new foundation for international commerce that meets the diverse needs of nations and peoples across the world and provides a pathway to a sustainable future.
