The Forum on Trade, Environment and the SDGs in collaboration with the Trade Negotiations and Investment Forum shall host a lunchtime conversation on Africa’s priorities at the nexus of trade & sustainability.

Seizing the opportunity of numerous stakeholders’ attendance in the WTO Fourteenth Ministerial Conference (MC14) and the IISD’s Trade & Sustainability Hub in Yaoundé, Cameroon, this light lunch roundtable aims to bring around 25-30 leading experts on trade, environment, and sustainable development issues to discuss and share views on:

1. What are some key priorities and recent developments on international cooperation on trade, environment, and sustainable development in Africa? 
   
   
2. What prospects and pathways are there for international trade cooperation to preserve sustainable development in a tense and uncertain trading environment?
