Summary
Trade rules must further the objectives of global sustainable development, starting with addressing the nexus between trade and climate change. Therefore, trade rules must support carbon pricing, including by allowing border tax adjustments and other border carbon adjustments. The WTO must approve a WTO climate waiver to support national climate response measures in furtherance of the goals of the Paris climate agreement.
