Trading the environment
The World Trade Organization's (wto) Trade and Environment Committee has two main agendas since the Doha round of negotiations began in 2001: to negotiate the relationship between wto's trading rules and multilateral environmental agreements (meas), and removing trade barriers on environmental goods and services. It's a limited mandate. But the committee is unlikely to arrive at an agreement on even this by the time wto's ministerial commences in Hong Kong, on December 13, 2005.
The Trade and Environment Committee has about 20 multilateral environmental agreements
