From October 28 to 30, Saint Lucia will host two high-profile international workshops at the Harbor Club in Rodney Bay, bringing together global experts in trade, policy, and sustainability. These events are part of the Remaking Trade for a Sustainable Future Project (RTP), a global initiative co-led by Dr. Jan Yves Remy, a prominent Saint Lucian trade expert and director of the Shridath Ramphal Centre for International Trade Law, Policy, and Services at The University of the West Indies (UWI) Cave Hill Campus. Launched in 2023, the RTP aims to align global trade policies with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). After successful dialogues in cities like Brussels, Washington DC, and Nairobi, the project now focuses on the Caribbean, highlighting the region’s potential to lead in sustainable trade transformation. The workshops will feature over 70 participants, including policymakers, private-sector leaders, academics, and civil society representatives, collaborating to shape a greener and more inclusive Caribbean economy. The first workshop, on October 28, will focus on advancing the CARICOM Industrial Policy and Strategy (CIPS), exploring how trade incentives and regional value chains can bolster critical sectors like agriculture, tourism, and renewable energy. The second workshop, on October 29-30, will delve into the burgeoning global bioeconomy, valued at over $4 trillion and projected to reach $30 trillion by 2050. Discussions will center on sustainable agriculture, marine biotechnology, and eco-tourism, culminating in a draft Caribbean Sustainable Trade and Bioeconomy Action Plan to guide climate-smart development.
