The 43rd UN/CEFACT Forum focuses on fostering sustainable, transparent and resilient value chains, and enhancing digital connectivity for climate-smart trade and transport corridors. It aims to make progress on reviewing the development and maintenance process of UN/CEFACT standards, while ensuring they align with the evolving needs of trade actors operating along global supply chains.
This Forum offers the opportunity to reinvigorate partnerships, demonstrate the impact and relevance of key UN/CEFACT instruments, and make progress on substantive deliverables. It features interactive thematic discussions, roundtables and working meetings with the engagement of experts across the public and private sectors, allowing to share experiences and insights on the Forum's themes.
Held bi-annually, UN/CEFACT Forums serve as a global platform for collaboration and dialogue among trade facilitation experts, policymakers, and stakeholders. The expert community aims at developing and promoting normative instruments and data exchange standards, showcasing project deliverables and addressing emerging challenges in global commerce. These activities support the UN/CEFACT mandate to deliver a programme of work of global relevance to achieve improved worldwide coordination and cooperation for trade facilitation recommendations and electronic business standards. The resulting instruments are designed to support both commercial and government business processes fostering sustainable growth in international trade and related services.
