One of the highlights of the WTO Public Forum was this excellent CITP session on 'responsible consensus’

An attempt to improve decision-making? Or a way to undermine (certain) developing countries? Lively debate!

Busy start to the WTO Public Forum - discussing unilateralism, climate, security, standards, and the role of the WTO with a great panel!

Nothing makes a Brit feel at home like a gunmetal sky.

From climate policy to economic security, unilateralism in trade policy is on the rise.

What can we do about it, and what’s the World Trade Organization’s role?

Come and join the discussion at the WTO Public Forum, first day, first session, centre stage!

Next week, negotiators resume WTO talks on curbing subsidies contributing to overfishing and overcapacity in fishing fleets.

It’s likely to be rough, judging by a set of proposals from India, including reopening the 2022 Fisheries Subsidies Agreement
