World Trade Organization

Company website

The World Trade Organization (WTO), headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland (CH), plays a pivotal role in the global trade landscape. Established in 1995, the WTO emerged from the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and has since been instrumental in facilitating international trade negotiations and dispute resolution. Operating across major regions worldwide, the WTO focuses on trade policy, economic development, and the promotion of fair trade practices. Its core services include administering trade agreements, providing a forum for trade negotiations, and offering technical assistance to developing countries. Recognised for its commitment to fostering a transparent and equitable trading system, the WTO has achieved significant milestones, including the successful conclusion of the Uruguay Round and the expansion of its membership. As a leading authority in international trade, the WTO continues to shape global economic policies and practices.

World Trade Organization's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, the World Trade Organization (WTO) reported carbon emissions associated with the production of steel at approximately 1,800 kg CO2e per tonne. Additionally, in 2019, emissions from fossil fuel combustion and cement production were recorded at about 6,400 kg CO2e per count. The WTO has not disclosed specific data for Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor have they set formal reduction targets or climate pledges. As of now, the WTO does not inherit emissions data from any parent organization, indicating that their reported figures are independent. The organisation's commitment to addressing climate change remains unspecified, and no significant reduction initiatives or targets have been documented.
