2. GUIDING
PRINCIPLES
Trade related policy can be a powerful driver
of sustainable development in global
policymaking if those engaged in negotiations
are able to incorporate emergent knowledge
on economic, environmental, and
developmental issues that empower them to
better understand their own interests, build
bridges to others, and advance mutually
acceptable solutions.
Bringing such knowledge-empowered
participation to bear on international policy
processes through facilitative, inclusive
approaches can generate effective solutions
for poverty reduction, greater social equity,
innovation, and conservation of—and access
to—natural resources, on which all humans
depend both now and in the future.

7. A Clearly Targeted
Change Strategy
ICTSD advances sustainable development by building knowledge communities,
supporting policy dialogue and empowering policy makers and influencers—with
particular attention to those excluded from policy processes—to act effectively on trade
policy and the trade related policy issues that impact national and global wellbeing.

10. ICTSD advances Global Mandates in Partnership
with Governments and Key Institutional Actors
• ICTSD’s network builds from the ground up through partnerships with civil
society, academia, and business organizations and extends to
intergovernmental organizations ranging from the trade, development, and
other ministries of individual governments to the WTO, UNCTAD, UNEP, ITC,
ILO, World Bank, and others.
• ICTSD helps create space outside formal negotiating settings enabling
governments and IGOs to advance dialogue and analysis.
• ICTSD focuses its work to be relevant beyond the trade system with
processes and objectives that contribute to the major commitments of
global governments such as the Millennium Development Goals; Rio+20; LDC
IV, the CSD and others.
• ICTSD also works directly and actively in current negotiations on climate
change at the UNFCCC as well as in the context of the multilateral
environmental agreements.

17. Poverty and Vulnerability
• ICTSD has focused on advancing African sustainable development through Special and Differential Treatment
provisions that are included in current negotiations. Groupings such as ECOWAS and WAEMU (in Africa) have
used ICTSD’s expertise and knowledge to design their market access proposals in Economic Partnership
Agreements (EPAs); and ICTSD’s work has been used in expanding duty-free market access for Least
Developed Countries; and building capacity on trade related climate change issues for vulnerable economies.
• Currently, ICTSD works to ensure that trade rules make appropriate provision for the needs of countries at
different stages of development; it provides greatly needed technical analysis in areas such as market
access, agriculture, fisheries, services, aid for trade and IPRs in multilateral and regional trade negotiations;
and it provides analysis in the area of trade, adaptation to climate change, economic vulnerability and
resilience in LDCs, Small Vulnerable Economies (SVEs), and Small Islands Developing States (SIDS).
• Ongoing work focuses on assessment of Duty Free / Quota Free (DFQF) schemes for LDCs provided by
emerging economies; further integration of LDCs in the international economy and design of trade policy and
rules to support structural transformation in LDCs. LDCs graduation. At this purpose, ICTSD and a group of
think tanks, NGOs and international organizations recently established the LDC IV Monitor, a partnership to
assess the implementation of Istanbul Plan of Action for the LDCs.
The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development
18. Climate Change
• Since its inception in 2008, ICTSD’s Global Platform (GP) on Climate
Change, Trade and Sustainable Energy has generated a global policy
knowledge community on the existing opportunities and risks of using
trade measures and tools in responding to climate change (such as
intellectual property rights, climate-friendly goods and services, and
carbon labeling and standards).
• Through strategic research and analysis and policy dialogues on five key
areas (including technology transfer and IP; trade in climate-friendly
goods and services; and adaptation), the GP provides stakeholders with
a critical mechanism for policy coherence on trade and climate change.
• The GP is advancing the analytical capacity of stakeholders, supporting
their interaction with policy makers, and building effective cross-
disciplinary understanding so that solutions can be built and agreed by
the international community in the climate change and trade policy
processes. This will be essential for progress in the context of the
COP16 and COP18 of the UNFCCC in Qatar and the mandate to reach a
comprehensive agreement on climate change by 2015 in particular.
The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development
19. Agriculture & Food Security
• Achievements: research informed govt policies and
proposed international rules on:
- livelihood and food security exceptions in new WTO rules
on market opening
- additional safeguard duties to protect poor farmers from
price volatility
- caps on high farm duties and distorting subsidies faced by
developing country farmers
- poor countries' exports of bananas, sugar and cotton.
• Work focus:
- poor countries food security and farmers' livelihoods;
reforming farm subsidies; improving poor farmers' access to
markets; evaluating the draft WTO farm deal; climate
change.
• Future Objective:
- promoting food security, equity and environmental
sustainability in agricultural trade, through providing
information, conducting research and facilitating dialogue
between different interest groups and trade policy actors.
The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development
20. Innovation and
Intellectual Property
•Since 1997, ICTSD has been instrumental in efforts to achieve a more
balanced and development oriented global IP regime, providing stakeholders
with options that balance private rights and public interests, and lead to a
better understanding of the impact of IP rules on development policies in areas
such as public health, climate change, biodiversity, food security and more
broadly access to knowledge and technology.
•Landmark outputs include: Resource Book on TRIPS and Development (2005);
Bellagio Dialogues on IP and development (2001 – 2007); IP Need Assessment
for LDCs (Uganda, Sierra Leone and Rwanda, 2007-2010) and the UNEP-EPO-
ICTSD Report on Patents and Clean Energy (2010).
•
•Current focus is on facilitating pro-development and pro-competitive
outcomes in international trade and IP negotiations and promoting an evidence
based approach to IP deliberations at the global level.
•Upcoming work focuses on the future of global IP reform
efforts, enhancing diffusion of climate friendly technologies and policies to
harness innovation in order to provide solutions to global policy challenges in
areas such as health, biodiversity and climate change.
The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development
21. Environment and natural resources
•ICTSD has pioneered work in facilitating the active engagement of
developing countries on trade, environment and natural resources;
• Through its BioRes periodical, ICTSD maintains a critical link
between the trade and environment communities, engaging
with environmental multilateral agreements with trade-related
implications and continually tracking developments under
the UNFCCC, CBD, CITES, Montreal Protocol and other MEAs.
•ICTSD is currently focusing on the trade aspects related to efforts
to reform economies in order to put them on a more sustainable
footing. In this context, ICTSD - with its partners - are delivering
multiperspective research and dialogues that engage highly diverse
constituencies in the Rio+20 process and beyond.
• Regarding natural resources, ICTSD will be working along several
fronts: focusing on export restrictions and their implications in terms
of conservation, environmental protection, food security, jobs and
industrial policy. The sectors covered will include rare earths,
timber, fisheries and agricultural commodities.
The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development
22. Regional Activities
• ICTSD's annual Bridges China Dialogue in Geneva has become
an influential forum to discuss China-related trade and
sustainability issues. By engaging relevant stakeholders
including policy- and decision-makers at the right levels from
China, the Dialogue will continue to leverage China's role in
global economic governance for sustainable development.
• ICTSD periodicals in China, Brazil, and Russia are building
new networks in these regions and their trading partners.
• ICTSD’s ongoing analysis and reporting on EPA agreements
with Europe and Africa, and in other regions enable
participants to manage multiple levels of negotiations.
• Strengthened partnerships in South Asia will support ICTSD to
work in the region and to focus on relations with less-
developed trading partners.
• Future work will continue on these tracks and will expand to
examine rules of origin and will examine transparency in
regional trade agreements.
The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development
23. Global Governance
• Since 1996 ICTSD has played a defining role in opening and developing dialogue between civil
society and the global trade system and advancing the capacity of developing countries to
participate in negotiations in Geneva and regionally. ICTSD’s ‘Strengthening Multilateralism
Initiative’ was launched in early 2009, and has engaged WTO members and the relevant trade
stakeholders.
• As part of this initiative, ICTSD published Rebuilding Global Trade: Proposals for a Fairer, More
Sustainable Future; and Strengthening Multilateralism: A Mapping of proposals on WTO Reform
and Global Trade Governance, November 2009.
• Since 2009 ICTSD has conducted informal consultations with ambassadors, policymakers,
opinion leaders and researchers, both in Geneva and at different meetings and dialogues around
the world on strengthening the WTO and global trade system; including events such
‘Strengthening Multilateralism’, into our Geneva Trade and Development Symposium, which was
held alongside the WTO’s Ministerial Conference.
• Ongoing work focuses on advancing WTO member discussions on strengthening the WTO
framework and increasing collaboration with key external actors such as World Economic
Forum; to create additional platforms for strengthening the global trade system at WTO and
regionally.
The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development
24. What works?
• Consistent, long term engagement and
cross fertilization of ideas has led to
effective global networks on many
issues.
• Engaging stakeholders is essential to
making research work.
