SERVICES While trade exacerbates climate change, it is also a central part of the solution because it has the potential to enhance mitigation and adaptation. This timely report explores the different ways in which trade and climate change intersect. Trade contributes to the emissions that cause global warming and is itself also affected by climate change through changing comparative advantages. The report also confronts several myths concerning trade and climate change. The Trade and Climate Change Nexus The Urgency and Opportunities for Developing Countries focuses on the impacts of, and adjustments to, climate change in developing countries and on how future trade opportunities will be affected by both the changing climate and the policy responses to address it. The report discusses how trade can provide the goods and services that drive mitigation and adaptation. It also addresses how climate change creates immense challenges for developing countries, but also new opportunities to promote trade diversification in the transition to a low-carbon world. Suitable trade and environmental policies can offer effective economic incentives to attain both sustainable growth and poverty reduction.

Trade is no different. The production, movement, and consumption of goods and serviceswithin and across bordersis the foundation of modern society. This process brings us the energy that powers our homes and gets us to work each day. It delivers the food we need, the appliances we have come to depend on, and the medical supplies that help make us safer. Yet each stage of the process entails a fresh contribution to greenhouse gas emissions trade undeniably exacerbates climate change. It is equally true that trade is disrupted by climate change. Extreme weather events often devastate transport and logistics infrastructure. These events erode capital stock, debilitate export capac- ity, damage agriculture, and disrupt food securityall with adverse consequences for long-term development outcomes. T rade, in short, is a critical node to mobilize if the world is to achieve green, resilient, and inclusive development in the coming years. As this report demonstrates, it is a central element of the solution to climate changebecause it has the potential to enhance mitiga- tion as well as adaptation efforts. First, trade can help shift production to areas with cleaner production techniques as the world makes the transition to a low-carbon econ- omy , export comparative advantages will change, compelling countries to adapt and seize new opportunities. Second, trade promotes the spread of critical environmental goods and services that can help reduce emissions and improve environmental management today , global trade in environmental goods is estimated at more than US1 trillion annu- ally and is rising. Third, imports are critical to immediate recovery from a natural disaster, when essential items such as food and medicines are in short supply . In a world increas- ingly shaped by climate change, trade will be a crucial mechanism to address food inse- curity , support adaptation, and enable recovery from natural disasters. In the last decade, some developing countries have emerged as fast-growing emit- ters of greenhouse gases. The poorest countries, however, remain the smallest con- tributors to emissions. Yet they often suffer the most from climate change. Natural disasters disproportionately affect the most vulnerable people and the smallest firms. All developing countries therefore have an important stake in adapting to climate changeespecially in agriculture, which is central to food security, employment, and trade and is also the most sensitive to climate change. Tourism, the mainstay of the economy of many small island developing states, is also particularly sensitive to climate change. Diversifying away from sectors that are the most vulnerable to climate shocks will allow these economies to become more resilient over the long term.For Eword x The global community has an important role to play in greening trade. This report identifies several immediate trade policy measures that offer quick wins. Correcting the current bias in many countries’ tariff schedules toward imports of carbon-intensive “dirty” goods is one of them. Advanced economies can also support green trade liberal- ization of goods and services of high-priority interest to exporters in developing coun- tries. Multilateral negotiations should focus not only on tariffs on environmental goods but also on nontariff measures and regulations affecting servicesaccess to which is often vital for implementing the new technologies embodied in environmental goods. Enforceable rules should be created to ensure global discipline in the use of trade mea- sures that impede crisis responsesuch as export restrictions on food or medicine or restrictive intellectual property rights that prevent the diffusion of clean technologies to developing countries. The need for transparency and predictability in policies affecting trade is always pressing, but it is particularly urgent during a crisis. The least-developed countries also need to be at the multilateral negotiating table for matters involving trade and the environment. Policy makers in these countries have not paid much attention to trade policy as a tool for achieving environmental objectives. By contributing to the rules governing environmental trade, they can ensure that their interestsespecially regarding capacity building and data collection
