Abstract
This book is about how to make international trade greener for a sustainable and prosperous future. It examines whether international trade agreements can contribute to sustainable development. Whether international trade can contribute to sustainability is a novel, timely, and important question that will most likely grow in importance over time and addresses a planetary challenge. We argue in the book that trade agreements have the potential to protect the climate and Mother Nature, and therefore can foster sustainability. In other words, trade is a means to reach an end, namely protecting and preserving the planet.
Keywords: The governance of international trade and climate change, sustainability, international coordination, democratizing trade governance, net zero, plurilateral agreements, consensus.
