SDG Target #17.10

SDG #17 is to “Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development”

Within SDG #17 are 19 targets, of which we here focus on Target 17.10:

Promote a universal, rules-based, open, non‑discriminatory and equitable multilateral trading system under the World Trade Organization, including through the conclusion of negotiations under its Doha Development Agenda

Target 17.10 has one indicator:

  • Indicator 17.10.1: Worldwide weighted tariff-average

This target reintroduces us to the Doha Development Agenda of the World Trade Organization, already explored in this series in Target 3.b.

Worldwide, the average tariffs across all products as of 2017 was 2%, a fraction less than at the adoption of the SDGs in 2015.
