Ideas workshop

This Ideas Workshop was an effort to collect and share the latest thinking, experiences and recommendations on the critical issue of how to ensure that green economy policies are environmentally effective, economically efficient and coherent with trade and other policies. Environmental effectiveness is a key consideration when evaluating the extent to which a specific policy can be qualified as “protectionist” from the perspective of international trade. Therefore, assessing the effectiveness of green economy policies lies at the heart of the debate on the risks of green protectionism.
