Kraemer, R. Andreas; Friedrich Hinterberger and Richard Tarasofsky 2007: What contribution can trade policy make towards combating climate change?, commissioned by European Parliament – DG External Policies of the Union. Brussels: Ecologic - Institute for International and European Environmental Policy, Sustainable Europe Research Institute (SERI), Chatham House.
Ecologic led a study examining the potential contributions that trade policy could make to combating climate change. The objective of the study was to provide Members of the European Parliament with an assessment of the relationships between international trade and climate change, and to identify possible means of using trade policy options to combat the problem. The study examined the economic, policy and legal aspects of the issue and included a quantitative evaluation of carbon dioxide emissions associated with specific traded and EU-produced goods.
The study is a result of the project “Trade policy and climate change”. The project team included Ecologic, Sustainable Europe Research Institute (SERI) and Chatham House.
The study [pdf, 1.1 MB, English] is available for download.
R. Andreas Kraemer, Director of Ecologic, did a presentation of the report at the European Parliament's Committee on International Trade on 27 June 2007.
