Background
The “United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations” (UN/LOCODE) is an international standard to identify locations uniquely and unambiguously. It is widely used in the trade community and other areas, such as sustainable fishery, maritime security and environmental protection. UN/LOCODE is managed and maintained by UNECE with the support of the UN/LOCODE Advisory Group.
Aiming at a better service to the UN/LOCODE user community and the sustainable development of UN/LOCODE, the UNECE secretariat strives to meet growing demands with limited resources. The UN/LOCODE Advisory Group meets once per year.
Target Audience
The UN/LOCODE Advisory Group members, representatives of the UN/LOCODE user community, UN/LOCODE Focal Points, and UN/CEFACT experts.
