The Hearing with Civil Society provides a platform for UNCTAD management and delegates from our member states to engage with representatives of civil society.
The Hearing will focus on the following topics:
New ways in which the United Nations could address the crisis of multilateralism and trade, its development machinery, and what would be the contribution of UNCTAD
Industrial policies and productive capacity policies for a digital economy
Plugging financial leakages, mobilizing domestic and international resources to deliver the SDGs
Building resilience to multiple shocks affecting people and sustainable development
These topics have been chosen because they will lead the high-level discussions at the annual meeting of UNCTAD's Trade and Development Board (4-12 June), which oversees our work between the ministerial conferences.
