International Trade Regulation and the Mitigation of Climate Change: World Trade Forum

What can trade regulation contribute towards ameliorating the GHG emissions
and reducing their concentrations in the atmosphere? This collection of essays
analyses options for climate-change mitigation through the lens of the trade
lawyer. By examining international law, and in particular the relevant WTO
agreements, the authors address the areas of potential conflict between
international trade law and international law on climate mitigation and, where
possible, suggest ways to strengthen mutual supportiveness between the two
regimes. They do so taking into account the drivers of human-induced climate
change in energy markets and of consumption.
