Source: United Nations Economic Commission for Europe

In light of the critical resource challenges facing the UN/LOCODE programme, this side event will bring together a diverse panel of speakers from United Nations agencies, international organizations, and key industry stakeholders. The discussion will explore innovative funding mechanisms and partnership models to support the long-term sustainability and modernization of the UN/LOCODE system.

The session will focus on the concept of a contribution support fee alongside other potential modalities, aiming to ensure the UN/LOCODE resilience and continued relevance. Participants will engage in an open dialogue with the UN/LOCODE Group of Experts and the UNECE Secretariat to evaluate the feasibility of various funding approaches—including voluntary contributions, public-private partnerships, and service-based support models.

This event seeks to foster a shared understanding of the operational risks stemming from the current liquidity crisis and to identify concrete pathways for effective resource mobilization.

All stakeholders committed to advancing global trade facilitation and location standardization are encouraged to attend and contribute to this important discussion.
