It will explore linkages between trade, growth and development, take up the issue of aid for trade and explore the negotiating priorities of developing countries in the WTO system. The second part of the week explores domestic and international measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions up to and including measures designed to influence the behaviour of trading partners. In drawing lessons from WTO and GATT decisions on subsidies, border tax adjustments and regulatory issues, controversial issues such as tariffs on environmental goods will be addressed, as will the relationship between international environmental agreements and trade law.
