Save the date for
2023 | |
|
As 2023 is gaining steam,
we wanted to let you know what UNECE’s Economic
Cooperation and Trade Division (ECTD) is up to and
invite you to join us in the many events we have
planned for this year! Please find below the dates
of ECTD-serviced normative events and related
side-events. | |
In
March and April, ECTD will contribute to two major
UNECE
events:
- The
UNECE Regional Forum on
Sustainable Development (RFSD),
29-30 of March in Geneva and
online.
- This
year’s RFSD will focus on several SDGs that are
high up on ECTD’s priorities: our work on
innovation and infrastructure (PPP) is in direct
support of SDG 9, and our work on trade,
innovation, and investment is in direct support
of SDG 17.
- We
will soon share topics and time slots of
ECTD-supported Peer-learning Roundtables
and side events.
The
70th session of the
Economic Commission for Europe held
from 18-19 of April in
Geneva, and its side-events, held
online, from 3-5 of
April.
- Member
States will take stock of the progress that has
been achieved on Circular Economy, and in ECTD
we are proud of our contribution, including
Circular Step, which you can learn about here. We are also excited to
discuss how ECTD can help chart the way forward
on the next Commission topic of Digital and
Green Transformations.
