The UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the Government of Barbados will organize the first Global Supply Chain Forum in Barbados from 21 to 24 May 2024.
The event was a direct response to a call made by the Prime Minister of Barbados, The Honourable Mia Amor Mottley, during the 15th UNCTAD Ministerial Conference (UNCTAD15).
It also aligned with the 2022 Bridgetown Covenant and the Bridgetown Initiative, which emphasizes urgent action to address the interconnected global crises of debt, climate change, and inflation.
