National Roundtable on Trade and Environment

Thursday, January 18, 2007

ESCWA is currently implementing an impressive and ambitious programme to explore links between trade and environment in West Asia. A number of events and workshops were conducted within the framework of this programme with the latest one being in Amman.

The procedures and presentations of the Amman national roundtable can be viewed from this link

which also provides links to other background documents and information on the programme. This is a very good step towards integrating environmental concerns in trade issues in the region and keeping West Asia alert to the highly sophisticated technical developments regarding the linkages between trade and environment.
