Academic Workshop: 'Trade Law for the Law-Carbon Economy - New Means to Promote Trade in Climate-Friendly Goods and Services'

The intersections of trade law and law on climate change are a subject of legal and scholarly debate. Recent studies have found that sustainable trade policies can be used to foster sustainable development practices, removing trade barriers set on sustainable goods while creating new employment. In the context of fascinating dates in the UN FCCC Durban COP 17, and important new WTO cases on these issues, the Lauterpacht Centre, IDLO, ICTSD and the CISDL are hosting an Academic Workshop on Trade Law for the Low-Carbon Economy: New Means to Promote Trade in Climate-Friendly Goods and Services after the Durban COP 17.
