Since our launch just over two years ago, TESS has been fortunate to work with colleagues from across the trade, environment, and sustainable development communities from around the world. Hosted as part of Geneva Trade Week 2023, the reception was our way of bringing this community together in the margins of the WTO Public Forum, which examined how trade can contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.

To inspire conversation on inclusive cooperation, we welcomed keynote speakers from two developing countries on advancing inclusive cooperation on trade, climate, and sustainable development:

• H.E. Daniel Legarda, Minister of Production, Foreign Trade, Investment, and Fisheries, Ecuador
• Hon. Keisal Melissa Peters, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, St. Vincent & the Grenadines
