Abstract

Summary The emergence of transboundary environmental problems, including climate change and the depletion of the ozone layer, has led to the establishment of a number of multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs). To date, over two hundred such agreements have been made. These MEAs may have important impacts on trade, either directly through trade measures or indirectly through the changing of relative prices through mitigation measures. This paper will investigate these impacts on trade of MEAs. This paper will review some of the main literature on the issue of trade impacts of MEAs to date, including the Montreal Protocol, CITES and the Basel Convention, before examining the potential trade impacts of the Kyoto Protocol or its successor. It then discusses issue linkage within a political economy framework and investigates key determinants of implementation for future MEAs. The trade and environment linkages within MEAs are discussed in the context of stakeholder analysis. This chapter forms part of an EC DG Research funded project Climate Change and Global Trade (CCGT) coordinated by ZEW, Germany.
