Environment and Trade Handbook

Published by the United Nations Environment Program in 2000, this handbook describes how trade can affect the environment, for better and for worse. Primarily focused on the World Trade Organization, it summarizes the WTO’s core principles and organizational structure, giving greater detail to policies and trade agreements as they affect the environment. Provides differing perspectives on environment and trade.

Designed to aid government officials and policy makers in developing practical approaches to integrating environmental concerns into economic policies, it’s also a helpful primer for business professionals.
