GCF: a multi-stakeholder approach<br />
• His<strong>to</strong>ry shows that attempts <strong>to</strong> <strong>address</strong><br />
commodity problems only through intergovernmental<br />
negotiations is not enough<br />
• Intervention has in the past created challenges<br />
• GCF is becoming a neutral platform bringing<br />
<strong>to</strong>gether key stakeholders<br />
• Only a dialogue between ALL stakeholders<br />
may enable moves <strong>to</strong>wards an optimal balance<br />
between market practices and regulation.<br />
The Structure of GCF<br />
• The first GCF meeting focused on extractive<br />
industries – oil, gas and metals markets<br />
• Plenary and parallel sessions focused on market<br />
instability/price volatility, developing sustainable<br />
supply capacity and making commodities an<br />
“Ëngine for Growth”<br />
• Plenaries tended <strong>to</strong> be policy focused and the parallel<br />
sessions are more market orientated<br />
• Structure envisages GCF in future as not just a<br />
meeting event but also an information portal. We<br />
plan <strong>to</strong> develop a GCF eForum website<br />
<strong>to</strong> distribute UNCTAD analytical materials<br />
(issues for discussion, specialized<br />
journals and publications)
