dc.descriptionThis document explains how reducing trade barriers can accelerate uptake of environmentally sound technologies to cut air pollution from fossil-fuel electricity production worldwide. It notes major societal and environmental costs, including around 6.5 million premature deaths annually, and highlights solar photovoltaic, small-scale hydro, geothermal, and wind. It describes tariffs and non-tariff barriers that impede clean technology flows and calls for policy action to remove them and harmonize standards. It defines environmentally sound technologies and proposes international regulatory frameworks, plurilateral agreements, multi-stakeholder coalitions, and capacity building.en
