Accelerating Action for a Sustainable and Circular Garment and Footwear Industry: Which Role for Transparency and Traceability of Value Chains
Garment and footwear is one of the biggest economic sectors and is one of the industries with the highest footprint in terms of social, environmental and health impacts, mainly happening in raw material production and manufacturing in developing countries. Its value chains are both global and complex, with numerous stakeholders involved, driven by big retailers and traders, however constituted by an enormous amount of small and scattered production facilities all around the world (OECD 2017). Small brands making around half of the industry, are lacking the knowledge and resources to significantly improve their footprint. They also have little control over and transparency along their supply chains. Even when their intent is good, they lack the critical reach to effect change (BCG GFA 2017).
Linking Trade and Biodiversity
UNCTAD convened the 5th BioTrade Congress “Linking trade and biodiversity” to provide a platform for substantive discussion among trade, biodiversity and development decision-makers and practitioners to support the 2030 Agenda and the 2050 Vision for Biodiversity of “Living in Harmony with Nature” and provide inputs to the post 2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. The congress enabled practitioners to share best practices and lessons learned in implementing innovative business and trade models to help upscale biodiversity conservation, sustainable trade of biodiversity-based goods and services, and increase private sector engagement in the biodiversity agenda. This publication summarizes the key discussions and conclusions of the 5th BioTrade Congress.

Valuing Water
Water is a finite and non-substitutable resource. As the foundation of life, societies and economies, it carries multiple values and benefits. But unlike most other natural resources, it has proven extremely difficult to determine its true ‘value’. The 2021 edition of the United Nations World Water Development Report, titled “Valuing Water” assesses the current status of and challenges to the valuation of water across different sectors and perspectives and identifies ways in which valuation can be promoted as a tool to help improve its management and achieve global sustainable development.
Rapport mondial des Nations Unies sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau 2021
La valeur de l’eau
L'eau est une ressource qui n'est pas infinie et qui est non substituable. En tant que fondement de la vie, des sociétés et des économies, l'eau comporte de multiples valeurs et avantages. Mais contrairement à la plupart des autres ressources naturelles, il s’est avéré extrêmement difficile de déterminer sa véritable «valeur». L'édition 2021 du rapport mondial sur la mise en valeur de l'eau des Nations Unies, intitulée «Valuing Water» évalue l'état actuel et les défis de la valorisation de l'eau dans différents secteurs et perspectives et identifie les moyens de promouvoir sa valorisation en tant qu'outil pour aider à améliorer sa gestion et parvenir à un développement durable à l’échelle mondiale.

Core SDG Indicators for Entity Reporting
Training Manual
The Core SDG Indicators' training manual contains four chapters i.e. on economic, environmental, social and institutional indicators. It aims at becoming a practical tool, useful for all kind of users, including preparers of reports by Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). By showing the link between the micro (core indicator at the company level) and the macro levels (SDG indicator at the national and Global levels), the manual facilitates the understanding of companies’ impacts on the implementation of the SDGs. The manual builds on the Guidance on core indicators for entity reporting on contribution towards implementation of the SDGs (GCI) by providing detailed explanation on each indicator, including definition, measurement methodology and potential sources of information. It provides useful illustrative and numerical examples of indicator calculations, and also examples of how these indicators have been already disclosed by companies around the world. In this regard, the examples are used for illustrative purposes and taken from the websites and annual reports of these companies, therefore UNCTAD assumes no responsibility or liability for the accuracy of the information and/or any errors or omissions included in it. In addition, it contains self-assessment questions and solutions and a list of selected references to deepen the understanding of these issues. The Manual is a work in progress as it will be updated based on feedback from preparers and users.
Report of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law

Международная классификация нетарифных мер 2019
Non-tariff measures are generally defined as policy measures other than ordinary customs tariffs that can potentially have an economic effect on international trade in goods, changing quantities traded, or prices or both. Since this definition is broad, a detailed classification is of critical importance so as to better identify and distinguish among the various forms of non-tariff measures. The classification of non-tariff measures presented here is a taxonomy of all those measures considered relevant in international trade today. It builds on an old UNCTAD classification known as the Coding System of Trade Control Measures and was developed by several international organizations forming what is called the MAST group (Multi-Agency Support Team) set up to support the Group of Eminent Persons on Non-tariff Barriers established by the Secretary General of UNCTAD in 2006. The MAST team discussed and proposed this classification, and is composed of: FAO, IMF, ITC, OECD, UNCTAD, UNIDO, World Bank and WTO. The classification is seen as evolving and should adapt to the reality of international trade and data collection needs.

The second part provides illustrative statistics on international trade in goods and services covering the medium term. The second part is divided into two sections. Section 1 provides trade statistics at various levels of aggregation illustrating the evolution of trade across economic sectors and geographic regions. Section 2 presents some of the most used trade indicators at the country level, to illustrate trade performance across countries.
Clasificación internacional de las medidas no arancelarias 2019
La clasificación de las medidas no arancelarias que se presenta es una categorización de todas las medidas que se consideran pertinentes en la actualidad del comercio internacional. Está basada en un sistema de codificación anterior concebido por la UNCTAD denominado Sistema de Codificación de las Medidas de Control del Comercio y fue elaborada por diversas organizaciones internacionales integrantes del Equipo de Apoyo Multiinstitucional, generalmente designado por su sigla EAMI. Este se estableció con el fin de prestar apoyo al Grupo de Personalidades Eminentes sobre las Barreras no Arancelarias creado por el Secretario General de la UNCTAD en 2006. La UNCTAD y las divisiones pertinentes de la Secretaría de la Organización Mundial de Comercio (OMC) revisaron la propuesta definitiva del EAMI, y la UNCTAD y el Centro de Comercio Internacional probaron el uso de la clasificación para recopilar datos en el terreno. La versión de 2012 de la publicación es el resultado de ese trabajo. La clasificación se considera un sistema taxonómico dinámico y, por lo tanto, adaptable a la realidad del comercio internacional y las necesidades de recopilación de datos.

World Wildlife Crime Report 2020
Trafficking in Protected Species
The report presents the latest assessment of global trends in wildlife crime. It includes discussions on illicit rosewood, ivory, rhino horn, pangolin scales, live reptiles, tigers and other big cats, and European eel. The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has highlighted that wildlife crime is a threat not only to the environment and biodiversity, but also to human health, economic development and security. Zoonotic diseases – those caused by pathogens that spread from animals to humans - represent up to 75% of all emerging infectious diseases. Trafficked wild species and the resulting products offered for human consumption, by definition, escape any hygiene or sanitary control, and therefore pose even greater risks of infection.

The Manual of Tests and Criteria contains criteria, test methods and procedures to be used for classification of dangerous goods according to the provisions of Parts 2 and 3 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations, as well as of chemicals presenting physical hazards according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). As a consequence, it supplements also national or international regulations which are derived from the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods or the GHS. At its ninth session (7 December 2018), the Committee adopted a set of amendments to the sixth revised edition of the Manual as amended by Amendment 1. This seventh revised edition takes account of these amendments. In addition, noting that the work to facilitate the use of the Manual in the context of the GHS had been completed, the Committee considered that the reference to the “Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods” in the title of the Manual was no longer appropriate, and decided that from now on, the Manual should be entitled “Manual of Tests and Criteria".

The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
Building Climate Resilience for Food Security and Nutrition
This year’s report shows that climate variability and extremes – even without conflict – are key drivers behind the recent rise in global hunger and one of the leading causes of severe food crises and their impact on people’s nutrition and health. Climate variability and exposure to more complex, frequent and intense climate extremes are threatening to erode and reverse gains in ending hunger and malnutrition. Furthermore, hunger is significantly worse in countries where agriculture systems are highly sensitive to rainfall, temperature and severe drought, and where the livelihood of a high proportion of the population depends on agriculture.

UNECE Code of Good Practice
Reducing Food Loss and Ensuring Optimum Handling of Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Along the Value Chain
The perishable nature of most fruits and vegetables means that loss and waste of products can be high. The problem of waste, in particular, has received much attention in recent years because of its impact on the environment. The Code of Good Practice It has been drawn up by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) to provide guidance to the sector on how to reduce losses and waste. The Code sets out measures to be taken at the stages in the value chain before the fruit and vegetables reach the consumer, i.e. from harvest to retail. It contains actions and measures that public and private stakeholders are advised to take or put in place. It is aimed at strengthening the work already being done in this area by many food supply-chain actors. The Code consists of four distinct chapters which focus on the major segments of the fruit and vegetable supply chain – producers, traders, transporters and retailers. The chapters can be used individually. It is complemented by five annexes and a select list of reading matter that describes in detail the processes that regulate fruit and vegetables during growth, maturation, ripening and senescence and the best handling and storage practices.

Достижение углеродной нейтральности в регионе ЕЭК ООН: комплексная оценка жизненного цикла источников электроэнергии
Well-informed energy policy design is key to reaching decarbonization targets and keep global climate change under a 2°C threshold. In particular, low-carbon electricity provision for all is essential, as the IPCC shows that the most ambitious climate mitigation scenarios entail the electrification of most of our economy. Therefore, understanding the full scale of potential impacts from current and future electricity generation is required, in order to avoid “impact leakage”, i.e., increasing non-climate environmental pressure while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Life cycle assessment allows the evaluation of a product over its life cycle, and across a wide range of environmental indicators – this method was chosen to report on the environmental profiles of various technologies. Candidate technologies assessed include coal, natural gas, hydropower, nuclear power, concentrated solar power (CSP), photovoltaics, and wind power. Twelve global regions included in the assessment, allowing to vary load factors, methane leakage rates, or background grid electricity consumption, among other factors. With no exception, every electricity generation technology generates environmental impacts over its life cycle; and these impacts may vary widely with implementation site and other design choices. Proper energy policy should consider site-specificity by conducting lifecycle assessments that consider local conditions and potential prospective changes.

Просто измерять – количественная оценка потерь продовольствия и пищевых отходов
Метод измерения потерь продовольствия и пищевых отходов для цепочек поставок свежей продукции
The UNECE measuring methodology aims at quantifying food loss and waste at several key points of the fresh produce supply chain. The methodology builds on existing methodologies and newly developed elements based on studies already carried out. A simple methodology can foster the continuous recording of losses along the supply chain, collect most valuable data on production, sales and losses, and thus encourage the repurposing and redistribution of lost food to find viable and sustainable solutions to the food and environmental challenges of today.

Report Card 17 explores how 43 OECD/EU countries are faring in providing healthy environments for children. Do children have clean water to drink? Do they have good-quality air to breathe? Are their homes free of lead and mould? How many children live in overcrowded homes? How many have access to green play spaces, safe from road traffic? Data show that a nation’s wealth does not guarantee a healthy environment. Far too many children are deprived of a healthy home, irreversibly damaging their current and future well-being. Beyond children’s immediate environments, over-consumption in some of the world’s richest countries is destroying children’s environments globally. This threatens both children worldwide and future generations. To provide all children with safe and healthy environments, governments, policymakers, businesses and all stakeholders are called to act on a set of policy recommendations.
