Ecological Rules and Sustainability in the Americas
How can new trade policies support environmental protection in the Americas? Can the integration process lead to a new, strengthened ecological cooperation agenda? If so, what are the key problems that require solutions, which instruments already exist and what are the prospects for a new regime, or even a network of regimes?
Ecological Rules and Sustainability in the Americas is the second in a series meant to strengthen hemispheric information, capacity and analysis on trade and sustainability issues. The study examines existing and potential trade, environmental and social regimes in the Americas. This research summary, by applying IISD's Winnipeg Principles on trade and sustainable development to a network of over 272 relevant global, hemispheric, sub-regional and bilateral environmental instruments, provides recommendations for new ecological cooperation agendas in the Americas.
