GDP Center Publishes Report With UNCTAD
The Global Development Policy (GDP) Center, an affiliated center of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, published a report with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) entitled “A New Multilateralism for Shared Prosperity.”
In late 2018 and early 2019, the GDP Center partnered with UNCTAD to craft a series of workshops and consultations among stakeholders from the global policy, advocacy, and research communities. The goal of these workshops was to advance a critique of the current multilateral system, as manifest in the trade and investment regime, and articulate a set of goals and principles for reform and regeneration.
The new report synthesizes those efforts and advances a set of “Geneva Principles for a Global Green New Deal” that can form the foundations for a new multilateral trade and investment regime that has shared prosperity and sustainable development as its core goals. The report will be launched in Washington D.C. on April 12, 2019 alongside the spring World Bank and International Monetary Fund meetings, and will feature presentations by Nobel Prize Winner Joseph E. Stiglitz; Maria Fernanda Espinosa, President of the United Nations General Assembly; and Mia Amor Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados.
