Abstract:
Adopted in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
has been hailed as "a defining moment for humanity and the planet", a "victory for multilateralism" and a
"blueprint for a better future". The Agenda contains the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which set
targets to be achieved by 2030 in 17 areas, including poverty, health, education and the environment. The 2030
Agenda recognizes that trade is an engine of economic growth for all and a means of reducing poverty and
contributing to the sustainable development of countries. Eradicating poverty is high on the 2030 Agenda as the
first Sustainable Development Goal, and trade continues to be a key factor in progressing towards this goal.
Trade and the World Trade Organization have contributed greatly to the unprecedented economic development
of the past 15 years. The purpose of this article is to highlight how trade contributes to the achievement of the
main objectives of sustainable development, from the perspective of the European Union, highlighting the main
directions of action of the European Union in this regard.
