In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, ITC decided to bring together SheTrades Global and the T4SD Forum for a two-day virtual Good Trade Summit on 7-8 October, in order to place a spotlight on sustainability and inclusiveness as key elements in accelerating and sustaining the economic recovery. The Summit showcased different examples, best practices and solutions of how “Good Trade” creates positive and inclusive economic, environmental and social impact. Moreover, it provided a platform for over 1,000 participants from around the globe – including hundreds of MSME owners – to network, learn and share.

The event, opened by ITC’s new Executive Director Pamela Coke Hamilton, featured more than 30 speakers from over 20 countries, including Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations; Inger Andersen, UNEP Executive Director; H.E. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former President of Liberia and Nobel Laureate; and Dr. Bertrand Piccard, Explorer and Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation.
