Trade and Logistics, and the Sustainable Development Goals

This course will explore the mutual linkages between specific Sustainable Development Goals and trade logistics efficiency to ensure access to overseas
markets through international transport and trade facilitation services. Emphasis will be placed on maritime transport, ports, multimodal transport,
connectivity and transit to provide participants with analysis and guidance to
make transport more efficient and less costly, while increasing its resilience
and sustainability, enhancing trade and port efficiency and improving transit
and trade facilitation. On the one hand, countries that are more advanced in
achieving the Sustainable Development Goals are likely to have more capacities
to provide efficient trade logistics services to their importers and exporters.
On the other hand, by investing in sustainable and resilient transport and
trade facilitation reforms, countries will also achieve certain Sustainable
Development Goals
