Least-Developed Countries, Climate Change and Trade

The Law and Development Review, 2012, vol. 5, issue 2, 2-26

Abstract: In current negotiations on both climate change and international trade, there is debate over the obligations of developing countries. The author argues that whatever the outcome of those general discussions, special status must be carefully retained for the protection of the least-developed countries in the intersection of trade and climate change policies. The paper examines the position of LDCs on three trade-related topics: environmental goods and services, border adjustments, GSP tariff preferences.
