Discussions on the reform of the World Trade Organization (WTO) have intensified over the last few years, and the often uncoordinated trade-policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic further highlight the need to strengthen multilateral trade cooperation. The chapter discusses which roles the G20 can play in the increasingly dynamic and overlapping discussions on reform-ing the WTO – not least in the light of the fact that the group’s members have been actively submitting multiple proposals for WTO reform.
