The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD) was established in Geneva in September 1996 to contribute to a better understanding of development and environment concerns in the context of international trade. As an independent non-profit and non-governmental organisation, ICTSD engages a broad range of actors in ongoing dialogue about trade and sustainable development. With a wide network of governmental, non-governmental and inter-governmental partners, ICTSD plays a unique systemic role as a provider of original, non-partisan reporting and facilitation services at the intersection of international trade and sustainable development.

Intellectual Property is one of the issue areas ICTSD works on. ICTSD has developed an internet portal on Intellectual Property Rights and Sustainable Development, IPRsonline.org, which contains a selection of relevant online documents and resources related to IPRs and sustainable development.
