The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) held its first Global Supply Chain Forum in Barbados, with a full programme of plenary and parallel sessions addressing a range of current supply chain issues, many relating to Small Island Developing States (SIDS).  I was invited to  moderate a panel discussion focused on two of the main themes of the event, the sustainability and resilience of supply chains.  I was fortunate to have an excellent panel, comprising John Manners-Bell from Transport Intelligence, Zera Zheng from Maersk, Darwin Telemaque from the Port Management Association of the Caribbean and Miryam Saade Hazin from UNECLAC,to discuss the subject.  A recording of the session is available at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcQEZN7Lz18&t=7300s  (between the timings 1.10.30 and 2.13.30).
