Centre International de Conférences Genève - Room C (Level 0)

UNDP corporate event, led by  UNDP Insurance and Risk Resilience Facility and the Business and Human Rights team, will take place on Wednesday 1 October from 17:00 to 18:30 (CET) at the Centre International de Conférences Genève - Room C (Level 0) 

Title: Risk free value chains: A win - win for economies and the SDGs. 

Global value chains impact the lives of billions of people worldwide, particularly informal workers, smallholder farmers, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities in the Global South. Unprecedented volatility reminds us that they are built on shaky foundations.

Initiatives such as the EU Global Gateway present an innovative model for advancing both economic self-interest in the Global North and sustainable development opportunities for economies, businesses, and people of the Global South.

The session will focus on exchanging key trends, tools, good business practices, and needs for integrated risk management across multi-layer, informal, and crises-affected value chains in the Global South. The discussion will lead to a set of recommendations for different groups of stakeholders.

The session is organized in partnership with Generali and EY.
