Informal Discussions on Environmental Goods and Services: The LDC’s Perspective
24th September 2009 • Co-organised with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are pleased to organize an informal discussion on Environmental Goods and Services (EGS) to take place at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), on the 24th of September 2009, from 9 to 11 am.
Ms. Fahmida Khatun, researcher with the Centre for Policy Dialogue in Bangladesh, will present the key findings of a paper commissioned by the UNDP on ‘Trade Negotiations on Environmental Goods and Services in the LDCs Context’. This paper is the first attempt to review the challenges and possible options for the negotiations on EGS at the WTO, from the specific perspective of the LDCs.
The meeting is open to the LDCs delegations only to allow for a brainstorming among the LDCs on the findings of the report as well as more broadly, the status of the WTO EGS negotiations. Resource persons from a number of international organizations and experts working in this field have been invited to share their expertise with the group.
