Climate and Trade Task Force

Governments across the globe are debating how to leverage trade policy to meet climate and environmental objectives. But the interplay between trade and climate policies is complex and contested, thus the need for timely, research-based policy recommendations that can address environmental concerns while sustaining global prosperity. The Climate and Trade Task Force is a nonpartisan group of academics, policy experts, and private-sector leaders organized by the Center for Commerce and Diplomacy to provide direction to policymakers on the relationship between climate and trade policies.
