The WTO Secretariat is hosting its first Global Supply Chains Forum. The Forum will bring together WTO members and stakeholders from every part of the supply chain to share perspectives on the underlying causes and trajectory of continued supply chain disruptions, and collectively identify the resources, interventions and innovations needed to ease crippling disruptions, logjams and price hikes. The Forum aims to harness the WTO’s convening power to build the first 360-degree picture of the challenges and opportunities facing supply chain partners of all geographies, sectors and sizes, and begin the work of shaping sustainable, inclusive solutions.
