UN Trade and Development at the WTO Public Forum 2024

At the World Trade Organization on 12 September, UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Secretary-General Rebeca Grynspan emphasized the critical link between peace, sustainable development and a fair global trading system. She called for reforms to make trade more inclusive and address imbalances that have created winners and losers and left billions of people without fully benefiting from global trade.
