🧠 #WTOReform is top of mind for multilateral #trade policy-makers. But in a multipolar world, reform is no easy task. 🆕 In a new article, @alicetipping.bsky.social explores how the @wto.org system has evolved & why reform is a chance to rethink #GlobalTrade rules. 🔗 bit.ly/4hAQG24

🐟 Ongoing #FisheriesSubsidies negotiations at the @wto.org are building on the 2022 Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies – known as “Fish 1”. #Fish1 bans subsidies when they are the most harmful to marine life & coastal communities’ livelihoods. 🪸 🏝️ 🧵 [1/6]

Looking forward to this exchange on exactly the question that’s not getting enough airtime this week: what does a trade war mean for those not (yet) in it, in particular for developing countries?

My sense is also that a number of governments want to put both texts (the 2022 agreement and the second part) up for approval at once. And because that second part feels so close, they keep waiting and the numbers slow down.

Will unprecedented collaboration shake off long-standing blockages in the WTO agriculture negotiations and sterile arguments over process? The Cairns and African groups report progress in their first-ever dialogue, starting with domestic subsidies, but a lot still lies ahead.
