Over the last three days at the Hamburg Sustainability Conference, my message was clear: sustainable development will not be delivered by governments and multilateral institutions alone. It will be delivered by and with business.

From Hong Kong to Tokyo, one message came through clearly last week: the future of trade will be shaped by the places and partnerships still prepared to do the practical work of connection.

Flying out of Beijing, I keep coming back to one thought: in a world that too often reaches for the drawbridge, choosing to connect is not the soft option. It is the hard, practical, necessary one. And it is the work I came here to do.

[World Customs Organization @WCO_OMD]

ATA Carnet is now digital.

Today, four Contracting Parties to the ATA Convention and the Istanbul Conventions will begin using digital formats of the ATA Carnets — the European Union 🇪🇺, Norway 🇳🇴, Switzerland 🇨🇭, and the United Kingdom 🇬🇧.

The digitalization of the ATA Carnets streamlines the temporary admission process for more efficient risk management by Customs authorities.

More countries are expected to join the eATA Carnet system by 2028.

#WCFAmericas 2026 is officially underway in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia 🇧🇴

Day one brought together 400 chamber leaders, policymakers, #MSMEs and business representatives from across the Americas to exchange practical ideas on strengthening competitiveness and advancing regional cooperation.

In their opening remarks, ICC World Chambers Federation Chair @RHisarciklioglu and @ICCSecGen highlighted the role of chambers in helping businesses navigate uncertainty.

''Chambers are the arteries that keep commerce moving. They create opportunities for enterprises to engage [...] across borders and build truly sustainable businesses.'' - John W.H. Denton AO

Co-organised with @CAINCOBOLIVIA, the Summit continues tomorrow. Stay tuned for more.
