We concluded that climate and trade requires a strong cooperative approach. Sometimes hard enforcement might not actually lead to better climate outcomes say Prof Ilaria Espa and @mtokas.bsky.social in their presentation on their @efareview.bsky.social article @ieep.eu #GreenTradeNetwork.

The EU-CA FTA is very comprehensive and while the text is hard to change, climate change and biodiversity can be better addressed by Coordination Council and TSD Committee resolutions says Prof Jorge Cabrera in presenting our paper doi.org/10.54648/eer... #GreenTradeNetwork CISDL

Regulatory cooperation with FTA partners matters, is possible, can be effective but needs careful evaluation says Dr @christiandelev.bsky.social in presenting his paper doi.org/10.54648/eer... #GreenTradeNetwork @bristoluni.bsky.social

Limiting international trade is the wrong approach when we are trying to reach net zero and address climate change. It depends on the right kind of trade. Green growth and sustainable development are the answer says Prof James Bacchus @ieep.eu #GreenTradeNetwork online workshop
