Trade and the Environment - Sworn Enemies?

Trade and the Environment - Sworn Enemies? | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it

International trade is seen as underpinning economic growth and prosperity. The way it is currently performed favours corporations over smaller firms and is also a huge driver of climate change. It also creates huge ‘ecological debt’ to countries where raw materials are sourced from, some of which are necessary for the development of green technology. Some simple measures can ensure that international trade is less harmful toc the environment.
