The Role of SDGs in Setting the Trade Agenda: Towards Buenos Aires and Beyond
Channel: ICTSD
Date: 04/10/2017

The treatment of trade across the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development reflects the view that trade can, when well-regulated, contribute to growth and sustainable development. In this respect, trade is not considered an end in itself but rather a means to support implementation. As we move forward, multilateral institutions like the WTO can play a critical role in implementing relevant trade-related targets under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
