Abstract

of natural disasters. A range of measures can be taken under the current WTO Agreements that can help impacted countries and their trading partners to mitigate the effects of natural disasters in the context of a three-phased approach – immediate response, recovery and resilience. Findings from “Natural Disasters and Trade: Study I” suggest that “there is significant potential to advance actions that will support preparedness in the face of specific, known hazards”, and that the negative impacts of natural disasters can be mitigated through effective trade-related measures under the multilateral trading system.
