In trade and development, the UNCTAD Board discusses economic interdependence, sustainable development, and trade reports, while the WTO General Council reviews trade negotiations, dispute settlement reform, and fisheries subsidies. Transport and regulatory discussions include UNECE's Working Party on Customs on customs conventions, the IRU's freight briefing, and the Inland Transport Committee's sessions on road safety, emissions, and infrastructure. The digital landscape sees ITU's Working Party 5D advancing IMT-2030, ITU-T Study Group 2 tackling AI and telecommunications, and ITU Council Working Groups addressing governance, cybersecurity, and disaster response.
