Trade and Environment: A Resource Book
Edited by Adil Najam, Mark Halle, and Ricardo Meléndez-Ortiz
“By the close of the 1990s, the field of trade
and environment was receiving
much more attention than at its start. Among other issues, eco-labelling,
trade in
genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and perverse subsidies in natural
resource
sectors were providing policy-makers with a host of new challenges.”
| The relationship between trade and
environment has evolved over time. The inclusion of environmental
issues on the negotiating agenda of the World Trade Organization
(WTO) at the Doha Ministerial in 2001 moved this relationship into
the spotlight. However, this is by no means a new relationship;
indeed, this is a relationship that has gone through many phases
and will continue to evolve in the future. The Trade and Environment Resource Book is a practical reference tool and guide for negotiators, policymakers, and other interested actors, in order to help them understand the emerging 'Southern Agenda' and options in trade and environment and its relation to sustainable development, thereby facilitating informed participation in negotiations and decision-making processes. The book will have a series of critical trade and environment topics contributed from the foremost experts from the south and north on the specific trade and environment issues pertinent to the Doha negotiations and the work programme of the Committee on Trade and Environment (CTE). It will contain handy factual information on legal regimes and data on relevant economic sectors, trade flows and barriers as well as it will link the work programme of the CTE with the Rio Principles, Agenda 21, and the Plan of Implementation agreed at Johannesburg 2002. |
