The dialogue will take place in a “brainstorming mode” and will provide an opportunity for in-depth discussions on key topics for attention, including the role of international cooperation in:

1. Fostering sustainable production and trade;
2. Removing perverse incentives such as environmentally harmful agricultural subsidies;
3. Preventing the trade distorting effects and development impacts of policies and measures pursuing environmental objectives; and
4. Ensuring food, nutrition and livelihood security.

The dialogue will provide an informal space to exchange experiences and perspectives and explore possible collaborative approaches at the international level on the road to MC14 and beyond while ensuring a broad-based support among WTO Members.
