ATPC Conducts Trade and Environment Workshop
 

The African Trade Policy Centre (ATPC) conducted a trade and environment workshop from 27 – 29 May 2009 in Lusaka , Zambia . Participants represented Member States of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the East African Community (EAC).

The main topics discussed were strategies for African countries on trade and biofuels; guidelines for establishing coherent policies on trade and environment; options for promoting organic agriculture; opportunities for Africa in global carbon markets; and the effects of mineral and timber exploitation on the environment and on conflicts.

Presentations and a full report of the workshop and its recommendations are attached.
