When:12-13 October 2006
Where: Salle C-1, World Meteorological Organisation, Geneva, Switzerland
This roundtable is organized as part of ICTSD project on "Bridging Trade and Sustainable Development in Environmental Goods and Services." The roundtable is meant to address important and persistent knowledge gaps on issues of concern to EGS negotiators and to explore possibilities for reconciling divergent negotiating approaches. Building on knowledge generated through commissioned research and a series of regional dialogues held in Asia and Latin America through which issues in the negotiations and EGS sectors of key concern and interest to the various regions were articulated, this roundtable will seek to spell out options for a negotiating strategy on environmental goods and services. Given the current stalemate in the Doha Negotiations, participants from the capitals and Geneva-based delegates will evaluate various options on a negotiating strategy including specific modalities for EGS within and outside the WTO framework.
