About the Call for Papers

The climate emergency clubbed with the crises in the trading world is presenting difficult challenges for the upcoming future. We stand at a juncture where the choices ahead are not easy. This book project seeks to explore the legal questions around trade and environmental challenges. It seeks to answer the question – Are we doing enough? If not, what kind of solutions could pave a better trajectory ahead? How should policymakers address the climate change questions? Is it justified to include environmental issues within the domain of international trade? What about global emissions? How to sufficiently address the historical emissions by the developed countries? How should the principles of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities be implemented in the trading world? How to make a fair transition to a green world, keeping the needs of developing countries in mind?

Sub-themes

With the above premise, this book project seeks articles, essays, research papers, legislative comments or case commentaries from
interested participants on the following potential sub-themes.

• The historical trade and environment debate: Is environment on the trade table justified?
• Environmental provisions in the new trade agreements: Are potential questions for the future sufficiently addressed?
• Multilateral Environmental Agreements and Free Trade Agreements: where does the answer lie?
• Developing economies and environmental protection: Better policy models for adequately addressing climate concerns
• Island nations at risk from climate change: questions of responsibility
