WTO Annual Report 2023 (original) (raw)
key publications
The WTO Annual Report 2023 provides a comprehensive account of the WTO’s activities in 2022 and early 2023. It looks back at key events over the past year, such as the 12th Ministerial Conference (MC12), and WTO work in addressing global challenges, including climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic and food security.
The Report opens with a message from Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who says: “It is vital that the WTO builds on the success of MC12 so that it continues to fulfil its mandate of using trade as a means to improve living standards, create better jobs and promote sustainable development.”
Under a new structure of “What we stand for”, “What we do” and “Who we are”, the Report provides a detailed account of the WTO's founding principles, its main areas of activity and how the organization is structured. “In the spotlight” sections at the start of the Report focus on pressing global issues, such as “trade and health”, “trade and climate change” and “trade in a year of polycrisis”.
A summary of the WTO's activities over the past year — “Our Year” — is followed by more detailed accounts of the WTO's various areas of activity.
