Trade Regulations for Climate Action? New Insights from the Global Non-tariff Measures Database

Trade Regulations for Climate Action? New Insights from the Global Non-tariff Measures Database

Format *
Over 190 United Nations Member States pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit the increase in global temperatures “well below” 2°C under the Paris Agreement reached in 2015. This report presents insights from the global non-tariff measures database collected by UNCTAD and many partners. The database covers over 100 countries and 90 per cent of world trade. Using measure coding, product coding and keyword matching, UNCTAD and ESCAP identified non-tariff measures that are related to climate change mitigation. The results of this matching are presented in the report and show that climate change-related non-tariff measures affect a quarter of global trade.
