UNCTAD - Press Conference: Presentation of the Global Supply Chain Forum 2024 - 20 March 2024
In recent years, global supply chains have been disrupted by crises such as climate change, as shown by the drought affecting the Panama Canal, geopolitical tensions as in the Red Sea and the Black Sea, and energy shortages, as well as the COVId19 pandemic. Supply chain disruptions increase the prices of goods, experience has shown.
Government officials, business leaders and experts at the forum will examine issues such as digitalization, food security, transport costs, climate change, developing countries' financing needs and how to better manage the energy transition in international transport.
Speakers:
- Matthew Wilson, Ambassador of Barbados to the UN and other international organizations in Geneva (from Geneva)
- Pedro Manuel Moreno, UNCTAD Deputy Secretary General (from Geneva)
- Ambassador Donna Forde, Director General of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade (from Barbados)
