Trade can reduce poverty and contribute to a green transition and a more sustainable economy. The shocks of the pandemic, the Ukraine war and high inflation are slowing down the expected growth of the global economy. Trade has recovered but many low- and middle-income countries have lagged behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>The multilateral trading system in crisis\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The international multilateral trading system under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is in crisis and negative economic developments have contributed to the disruption of global value chains. More and more countries are protecting themselves from competition by imposing various trade barriers, such as tariffs. This has resulted in a sharp increase in trade barriers and the growing use of subsidies, and confidence in the WTO has declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>International trade affects the environment\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>International trade tends to increase consumption. When we produce and consume more, the environment and climate are negatively affected. Carbon dioxide emissions increase, as do waste and pressure on natural resources. At the same time, trade is important to provide countries affected by the impacts of climate change with extreme weather events such as severe droughts and floods with access to technologies that can mitigate environmental impacts, build resilience and help adaptation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n","Examples of what Sida has contributed to","\u003Ch3>Trade promotes development\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Enabling low and lower middle income countries to participate in the world economy has played an important role in reducing poverty. Trade can lead to the development of private companies and entrepreneurship, creating employment and better working conditions. In Tanzania, development cooperation strengthens agricultural cooperatives and farms in using sustainable agricultural methods. This increases the production of vegetables, fruits and spices by 20-50%. Thousands of companies and entrepreneurs in horticulture were able to increase their income and develop their business through access to new local, regional and international markets. They received support in areas such as marketing, market information and certification standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Growing importance of sustainability issues in trade\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The world’s consumers are increasingly demanding goods and services that are environmentally and socially sustainable.
