🧠 #WTOReform is top of mind for multilateral #trade policy-makers. But in a multipolar world, reform is no easy task. 🆕 In a new article, @alicetipping.bsky.social explores how the @wto.org system has evolved & why reform is a chance to rethink #GlobalTrade rules. 🔗 bit.ly/4hAQG24

🎥 What were the key takeaways from last week’s #WTOPublicForum? @alicetipping.bsky.social explains that excitement surrounded the entry into force of the @wto.org Fisheries Subsidies Agreement, but concerns are rising about the growing politicization of trade policy. Catch her insights 👇

If you’re at @genevatrade-gtp.bsky.social Geneva Trade Week or the @wto.org Public Forum next week, come say hi!

Why does the @WTO fisheries agreement matter? And what does it mean for #SustainableDevelopment? 🎣 📃 This video from @alicetipping.bsky.social breaks it down. 📽️: buff.ly/V0eQcVZ [5/6]

🐟 Ongoing #FisheriesSubsidies negotiations at the @wto.org are building on the 2022 Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies – known as “Fish 1”. #Fish1 bans subsidies when they are the most harmful to marine life & coastal communities’ livelihoods. 🪸 🏝️ 🧵 [1/6]

Last week, we hosted the final Global Stakeholder Dialogue on Border Carbon Adjustments, bringing together experts to shape fair & effective #BCA guidelines. 🌎 Guidance is 🔑 to avoiding regulatory fragmentation, protecting developing countries & preventing protectionism. [1/5]

In the lull between one set of major tariff announcements and the next, here is how I think we can think about it all.

Looking forward to this exchange on exactly the question that’s not getting enough airtime this week: what does a trade war mean for those not (yet) in it, in particular for developing countries?

At long last - We have a starter pack for @enb.iisd.org. ENB shines a light on the confusing world of global environmental negotiations. Its strength is its people - super smart experts on climate, nature, plastics, land and more. go.bsky.app/VfZ25cx

My Trade Secrets today. There’s a widespread fear that Trump protectionism will make China Shock 2.0 worse and export trade wars round the globe. Continuing my irrepressible optimism, I think there’s a good chance we can avoid it. on.ft.com/40uTKEQ

Hello new Bluesky followers! Here’s some solid, useful trade work my colleagues @ibarsauskaite.bsky.social and Tristan Irschlinger published recently: how to tackle plastic pollution (which we can and should) without annoying trading partners….

I’m still not sure I got this totally right, so call it a conversation starter. How do you all think we need to think about the year ahead in trade?

This deserved to be re-upped for Bluesky folks….

Will unprecedented collaboration shake off long-standing blockages in the WTO agriculture negotiations and sterile arguments over process? The Cairns and African groups report progress in their first-ever dialogue, starting with domestic subsidies, but a lot still lies ahead.

Thanks Markus!
