By Jenny Bates and Greg Principato

Multilateral Environmental Agreements and the World Trade Organization
By Jenny Bates

Trade and the Environment
There are two key principles to an enlightened position on reconciling trade and the environment. Trade agreements should not be used to direct environmental policy and they should also not be used to undermine domestic environmental laws.
