About the Event
This edited volume seeks to critically examine the intricate relationship between international trade and sustainable development, a subject gaining paramount relevance amid global calls for ecological and economic justice. With trade mechanisms increasingly intersecting with climate change, environmental policy, labour rights, and equity, this book aims to contribute a multidimensional legal perspective.
Academicians, researchers, students, and legal professionals are invited to submit well-researched chapters delving into legal, policy, and institutional frameworks, particularly in the context of sustainable global commerce.
The final volume will be published by a reputed academic publisher and launched in late 2025.
