The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD) is an independent think-and-do-tank engaged in the provision of information, research and analysis, and policy and multistakeholder dialogue, as a not-for-profit organization based in Geneva. ICTSD's mission is to ensure that trade and investment policy and frameworks advance sustainable development in the global economy. ICTSD organizes coalitions of knowledge organizations working on trade policy and global issues to offer the most comprehensive platform and opportunity for dialogue alongside WTO biannual ministerial conferences.
