UNCTAD XIII is the first major UN ministerial conference on trade and development since the fallout of the economic crisis. Under the theme of ‘Development-centred Globalization: Towards inclusive and sustainable growth and development’, the conference seeks to address issues on the green economy and climate change; on debt and financial and monetary reform; and, on science and technology and the next era of globalization.
ITC is supporting UNCTAD’s goals through discussions and presentations on inclusive and sustainable export-led job creation.
