Opis

This text considers whether the liberalization of trade is compatible with the efforts of industrialized countries to reduce greenhouse emissions. It examines the strains and conflicts between these two international goals and focuses on the effects of the UN convention on climate change and the Kyoto Protocol, specifically: their implications for levels of trade, potential restrictions on trade and implications for the World Trade Organization regime of emissions trading. The author also looks at the implications of energy efficiency standards and energy taxes for international trade.
