It maps the current state of play and identifies a range of possible pathways forward. Greening International Trade argues that advancing green trade requires a reframing of the environment and trade narrative around a forward-looking Environment and Trade 2.0 agenda that: Safeguards and strengthens ambitious environmental policies nationally and internationally; Harnesses trade and trade policy to incentivize and drive green economic transformation; Reduces negative environmental impacts of international trade and trade policies; Supports sustainable, resilient, and fair international supply chains; Addresses the wider sustainable development priorities of developing countries and supports a just transition; Strengthens alignment of national trade policymaking with environmental goals and sustainable development priorities, and; Supports democratic, transparent, and accountable processes of trade policymaking.
