Green Customs Initiative (GCI) 19th Annual Partners’ Meeting

The GCI is a partnership between international entities to enhance the capacity of customs and border control officers to combat illegal trade in environmentally sensitive commodities, and to facilitate their legal trade. As a recognized forum that fosters necessary cooperation and coordination in addressing such crimes that affect the environment, the GCI secretariat works to support customs officers and regulatory authorities through providing capacity building trainings on implementation of multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs), at regional and national levels, exchange workshops between customs and regulatory authorities, as well as to support the development of national and regional green customs training curricula globally. By increasing knowledge about these environmental issues and relevant conventions and MEAs that apply to them, the GCI partnership enhances the skills and capacity of customs officers in MEAs’ implementation and enforcement.
