What is it? The overall mission of the
CBTF is to strengthen the capacities of countries, particularly developing
countries and countries with economies in transition, to effectively address
trade-environment-development issues.
What does it do? The CBTF facilitates
five integrated and complementary
activities, which are constructed around a collaborative
partnership-based approach:
 | Thematic Research on major issues in the trade-environment-development
domain;
|
| Country Studies to enhance country capacities to develop mutually
supportive trade, environment and development policies;
|
| Training to enhance countries' appreciation of the relationship
between trade, environment and development;
|
| Policy Dialogue to facilitate awareness raising, consultations and the
exchange of perspectives;
|
| Networking and Information Exchange. |
Through country-based projects, activities are specifically designed to meet
the expressed needs of CBTF beneficiaries.
Cooperation WTO, UNDP, FAO, UNIDO, UNU,
UNITAR, regional economic commissions, IGOs, NGOs, regional and national
organisations and trade agreements.
