From dark commercial patterns to algorithmic collusion, the digital economy is posing new enforcement challenges to competition authorities and consumer protection agencies.

Climate change is also rekindling national priorities to fight such practices as greenwashing.

Cross-border and international cooperation are taking new dimensions as breaches to competition and consumer protection laws unfold across national boundaries.

This year’s meeting of the UNCTAD Research Partnership Platform (RPP) will encompass three sessions.

The two substantive sessions will discuss the enforcement of consumer protection laws and challenges in competition policy-making.

In the remaining session, research partners will present ongoing RPP projects.
