This side event examines how labour provisions in trade agreements and due diligence requirements can be used in practice to reduce child labour and other FPRW violations in global supply chains. A tight, moderated panel will respond to two focused questions (what works/what is needed) using regional examples (e.g. ASEAN roadmap) and a short QR poll of delegates to produce 3–5 clear priorities to feed into the Conference outcomes and follow-up work.
