Sustainable Trade and Investment : Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals

2015 is a key year for the development and adoption of various sustainable development related processes that will influence the trade agenda for the next decades. These include the Financing for Development (FfD) Agenda adopted in Addis Ababa in July, the UN Summit to adopt the Post-¬‐2015 Agenda in September in New York, the Climate Summit to be held in Paris, and the WTO Ministerial Meeting in Nairobi in December. These summits present major opportunities for shaping the trade and environment nexus, related policies and practices, and creating enabling conditions for more sustainable trade and investment.
