The Remaking Global Trade for a Sustainable Future Project aims to rethink the foundations for international commerce and develop a WTO reform agenda to better position this critical international organization to meet the needs of the current moment and better align the trading system with the world community’s commitment to a sustainable future.

Led by Professor Dan Esty at the Yale School of the Environment and Yale Law School, Professor Diana Van Patten at the Yale School of Management, Professor Joel Trachtman and former Dean Rachel Kyte at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, and Jan Yves Remy, Director of the University of the West Indies International Trade Law, Policy, and Services in Barbados, the Remaking Trade Project have engaged with thought leaders across the world in an effort to re-think the intellectual logic and economic underpinnings of global trade with an eye toward broadening public understanding and political support around the world for a re-geared structure of trade and improved global governance as critical elements of an environmentally secure, prosperous, equitable, and peaceful world.

The Remaking Global Trade Project has been a major undertaking, with 10 workshops around the world, and 50 white papers that resulted in a final report which Professor Trachtman will discuss in this event.
