Does fighting climate change disrupt free trade?


♻️ Does fighting climate change disrupt free trade?

On the one hand, reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential to slowing the pace of climate change and avoiding its worst consequences. This can be achieved through the implementation of policies that promote renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable transportation, among others. On the other hand, free trade can help countries access the resources, technology, and capital they need to transition to a low-carbon economy and achieve their climate goals. Trade can also help increase access to climate-friendly products and services, and foster cooperation and technology transfer between countries. It is possible to pursue both climate action and free trade by creating policies that balance economic and environmental objectives, and by encouraging businesses to adopt sustainable practices and invest in low-carbon technologies.
