The Mont Blanc Scenarios: Future Paths for the International Trading Architecture

This journey was both content and time-driven, building on the participants’ creativity,  imagination, and out-of-the-box thinking. The future of the international trading system was at the heart of this journey. Any imagination, any predictability about the future is difficult, is divergent, is diverse. To build a future resilient and robust to external and internal shocks and respondent to the needs of all countries is a huge challenge. The aim of this journey was to jointly develop different scenarios on the future of the international trading architecture. We have no illusions about the challenges ahead. Finding satisfactory scenarios was not be easy to achieve. But find them we must.
