Global Challenges at the Intersection of Trade, Energy and the Environment by Joost Pauwelyn Pdf
How can we increase economic well-being and expand trade, while promoting the optimal use of the world's energy resources and protecting and preserving our shared environment? The challenge is daunting and complex. This volume of presentations and discussions from a conference on the intersection of trade, energy and the environment addresses the international or cross-border problems that arise at this intersection, the current international regulatory framework and how this framework could be improved. Institutionally, as WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy phrased it, the core questionA is whether we need a new, more comprehensive global governance in energyA and if so, what the form and content of such governance should be and in what institutional settingA and what would be the WTO role in this new energy governance?
