  • Colyer, Dale

Abstract

Environmental provisions have been incorporated into many trade agreements and are included in the Doha Round negotiations of the WTO. However, they remain limited, are controversial and their impacts on environmental improvement are, at best, mixed. This paper examines their content and implications for trade and the environment.
