This report takes stock of the current evidence on commodity trade and global sustainable development across the academic disciplines of law, economics, environmental, political and social sciences. Commodities represent around 33% of global trade in goods. Commodity trade links primary extraction and production with processing, manufacturing and consumption, thereby connecting distant ecologies and social realities. Commodity trade is not merely a neutral service enabling the world economy; rather, it is an integral component that actively shapes production systems, investment patterns, and global value chains. Commodity trading delivers not just materials and goods, but also economic, environmental, and social impacts − whether intentionally or not. Moreover, commodity trade sits at the fault line where geopolitics and geoeconomics increasingly converge. Trading hubs in Switzerland, the US, the UK, Singapore or Hong Kong, among others, play a key role in global commodity trading. They serve as nodes anchoring global networks of material, informational, and financial flows while competing for strategic and regulatory advantage. Public policy faces the challenge of balancing trade facilitation, supply chain resilience, and long-term sustainable development. This report takes stock of the current evidence on commodity trade and global sustainable development across the academic disciplines of law, economics, environmental, political and social sciences. It considers hard and soft commodities, as well as derivatives trading.

Zambia: Ausverkauf statt Aufschwung
(Afrika Komitee, 2024-09-01)
Rita Kesselring
;
Afrika Bulletin
In den letzten Jahren hat Zambia in dreierlei Hinsicht Schlagzeilen gemacht: Die kürzlich gemachte Entdeckung weiterer, scheinbar unermesslicher Kupfervorkommen in dem ohnehin als rohstoffreich bekannten Land, der mit hohen Erwartungen verbundene Regierungswechsel 2021 sowie die intensiven Verhandlungen bezüglich einer Umschuldungsvereinbarung. Die von Rita Kesselring beschriebene Entwicklung steht im Zeichen des Wettstreits um karbonfreie Energie; sie fällt nicht zugunsten der lokalen Bevölkerung Zambias aus.
