United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
Topic A: Exploring sustainable trade practices to enhance resilience in global value chains.
The United Nations Committee on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) is a UN body dedicated to promoting global trade that benefits all nations, particularly developing countries. It conducts research, offers policy analysis, and provides technical assistance to enhance trade, investment, and sustainable development. UNCTAD aims to reduce inequalities and promote inclusive economic growth on a global scale. At BISH MUN, delegates will be focusing on exploring sustainable trade practices to enhance resilience in global value chains. Exploring sustainable trade practices enhances resilience in global value chains by reducing vulnerabilities to disruptions. Sustainable practices, like responsible resource management and ethical labor standards, mitigate environmental and social risks. This resilience safeguards the continuity of trade, ensuring economic stability and maintaining the flow of essential goods, especially in times of crisis, ultimately benefiting economies and societies worldwide.
