About the product

The link between trade and the environment has focused on two broad issues: how changing trade regimes have affected the environment and how stricter environmental regulations have affected trade. The answers are of particular importance to developing and transition countries where the relationship between trade and the environment has a major impact. This publication provides detailed empirical evidence from case studies on eleven developing countries worldwide. In addition to an overview and lessons learnt, the publication discusses environmental policy, market access and competitiveness, and policy instruments in multilateral environmental agreements.
