In the recent study on environmental conflicts, Third World Network's Head of Programmes, Meena Raman, condemned global trade rules that enable corporate exploitation of the Global South. She called for a systemic overhaul to promote economic and ecological sovereignty, highlighting the need to break with imperialistic and neoliberal practices.

In May 2023, Third World Network submitted detailed comments on the Second Revised Draft Convention on the Right to Development. The submission advocates for systemic global reforms that promote equitable development, address international economic imbalances, and enhance international cooperation to protect the rights of developing nations.
