Relevant SDG targets:

This project UN/CEFACT digital trade project focuses on reducing paperwork and emissions. Hence, it contributes to Climate Action (Various SDGs): Electronic documentation and data exchange reduce the reliance on paper-based transactions. This not only improves efficiency but also helps decrease the environmental impact associated with the production and transportation of paper.

  • Paperless trade reduces processing times, streamlines and enhances overall trade efficiency. This can lead to increased economic growth and job creation supporting SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth).
  • The enablement of paperless trade adoption involves the use of digital technologies and electronic documentation, fostering innovation in trade processes and infrastructure development supporting SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.
  • Reduced Environmental Impact: Going paperless reduces the need for physical documentation, which in turn helps to decrease the environmental impact associated with paper production, printing, and transportation supporting SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.
  • Transparency and Accountability: Paperless trade systems contribute to transparent and accountable trade processes. This can help reduce corruption, enhance legal certainty, and foster a more stable and just business environment supporting SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions.
  • Implementation of paperless trade requires collaboration among countries, businesses, and international organizations. This fosters partnerships and cooperation towards achieving common goals supporting SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
  • By facilitating trade and economic growth, paperless trade can contribute to poverty reduction, creating opportunities for employment and income generation supporting SDG 1: No Poverty.
