WTO members are recognizing the opportunity to shape a global “win-win” approach for trade and the environment by combining green transition, green industrialization and trade cooperation, Deputy Director-General Jean-Marie Paugam said on 4 July in remarks delivered at the Trade Horizons Conference in Dublin. With uncoordinated green actions having the potential to fragment world trade and trigger unnecessary conflicts, the cause of the environment “will oblige us in the WTO to invent new forms of trade commitments and global cooperation.”
