International Trade and Sustainable Development Goals
International trade has the potential to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by fostering economic growth, reducing poverty, driving sustainable industrialization, empowering women, promoting fair labor practices, and supporting environmental conservation. However, it is essential to address challenges and ensure that trade policies and practices align with the SDGs to maximize positive impacts and minimize negative externalities. A comprehensive and inclusive approach involving governments, businesses, civil society, and international organizations is crucial for leveraging the potential of international trade for sustainable development.
