Fostering the positive linkages between trade and sustainable development

Rezultaty

In D13 a userfriendly dashboard will be elaborated visualising the direct and indirect linkages between sustainable development and agrifood trade This exercise will help informing the stakeholders and the general public on how exactly trade and sustainable development are related through indicators and what happens to an SDG if an identified trade component is changed to a certain extent This dashboard will be continuously enriched with the results of modelling WP3 and case studies WP4 This task highly contributes to the civil society dialogue

D1.1. Review of direct and indirect linkages

By conducting a scoping exercise the aim of D11 is to identify the linkages between SDGs and trade This task will conduct a review of academic and nonacademic literature on the topic followed by stakeholder consultation in order to acquire their extensive knowledge on the linkages between SD and trade in practice The exercise will help also in understanding how some linkages might differ by region or commodity depending on political economic social and environmental contexts The participation of multiple actors including political legal economic and social stakeholders can aid to the validation of the linkages The outcome of this process will contribute to the second objective of WP1 identify direct and indirect linkages between trade and SDGs

D3.1. Report on linking SDG indicators with models in the TRADE4SD toolbox

D31 will provide an overview on how different SDG indicators will be covered in the quantitative modelbased analysis in WP3 The models to be applied in this WP cover trade policy instruments in full details ie specific and advalorem tariffs but also tariff rate quota TRQ with differentiated rates of tariffs within and outside the quantities of TRQs Under TRADE4SD however the standard analysis of trade policies should be more broader covering also policy instruments targeted towards SDGs Task 31 will provide an overview of current modelling of SDGs related policy instruments and indicators to measure the success or degree of progress to reach different SDGsTherefore this scoping exercise will also a identify the link between quantifiable SDGindicators and policy instruments covered in the existing models b identify the need for further model development and improvement to enable existing models for a detailed and combined analysis of trade and sustainability impact of new policy options like the Green Deal or the Farm to ForkStrategies and c enhance a modelbased assessment of resilience ie to provide a better understanding of medium to longterm consequences of agriculture in a post COVID19 world

D1.2. Identification of most important indicators

The aim of D12 is to identify a system of relevant indicators of the linkages between SDGs and trade and summarise this in a database through a systematic review including scientific and nonscientific literature This exercise will help understand how the linkages identified in Task 11 can be measured consistently Criteria for indicator selection include policy relevance clear directionality clarity comparability across countries and over time accessibility An iterative process is planned here starting from a large set of data and indicators and ending up in a core set of relevant components of sustainability A crosstable between indicators and SDGs will clearly show the nature of the relationship The result of this process will inform WP3 on the relations between trade and sustainability and on which indicators are suitable to measure quantitatively this relationship
