Abstract: Unilateral measures related to green production and trade are increasing, and the resultant policy fragmentation poses major challenges for least developed country exporters. With only five years remaining to realize the Sustainable Development Goals, the current dynamics, which have been characterized as a “green squeeze”, must be changed. There are different ways in which adherence to new measures intended to support green production and trade could assist not only decarbonization in least developed countries but also efforts to advance the Sustainable Development Goals and the more recently agreed Doha Programme of Action.
