Declaracion del IISD sobre comercio y desarrollo sostenible

The IISD argues that trade liberalization and sustainable development are not inherently incompatible, but that the current 'monothematic' approach of the WTO excludes critical environmental and development concerns. The document calls for a shift in the international trade system to place development at the center, rebuild trust with developing nations, and integrate environmental and social equity into trade policy to avoid 'green protectionism' and ensure sustainable growth.

• The Seattle Ministerial Conference resulted in a stalemate that damaged trust between developed and developing nations, reinforcing feelings of exclusion among developing countries and civil society.
• For trade policy to progress within the WTO, development issues must be centralized, the capacity of developing countries to defend their interests must be strengthened, and a broader range of stakeholders must be included.
• There is a perceived imbalance where Northern countries drive the environmental agenda in the WTO, leading to fears of 'green protectionism' and a lack of sensitivity toward the needs of developing nations.
