Enhancing trade sustainability and inclusivity across the G20

Our global trade system is under greater stress than at any other time in the post-war era. Our current approach is not producing desired outcomes and is generating a backlash against rules-based open trade. A different approach is needed to help ensure that trade remains open and vibrant and delivers for all. Sustainable and inclusive trade focuses on the conduct of policy in a manner that not only generates economic growth but also strengthens social capital, provides environmental stewardship, and seeks to ensure that trade contributes to better social outcomes.
