October 16, 2020


Inside U.S. Trade reported on the WTO and how it is dealing with climate change.

Senior Research Fellow Joseph Glauber stated, “The reality is that’s the way the world is moving. Those discussions are — one way or another — are going to move to the WTO at some point.” Glauber cited carbon border taxes and climate-focused agricultural policies as examples of moves made or contemplated by countries that are likely to come up at the WTO.
