FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) have launched a new partnership to accelerate the transition toward more sustainable, resilient and inclusive global maritime transport. The new partnership was announced during Singapore Maritime Week 2026 and ahead of the UN Global Supply Chain Forum 2026. As highlighted, ports play a critical role in trade and economic development, handling more than 80% of global trade by volume, yet they remain highly energy-intensive and heavily dependent on fossil fuels.
