Trade Measures

The interface between trade and climate change is a complex issue though institutionally both the WTO and the UNFCCC are mutually supportive and leave sufficient policy space for one another in their respective operation. In this paper, three issues viz. carbon leakage and the border issue; the problem of unilateral trade measures; and finally, the issue of technology transfer and IPRs have been discussed. While the first two issues show how climate mitigation arises conflict within the WTO system, the third issue will discuss just the reverse, i.e. how the trade and technology transfer could arise conflict in international climate talks. The reason why trade intersects with climate change is due to the numerous implications that climate change may have in terms of its potential impacts and the intense regulatory and economic changes that are required to mitigate and adapt to these impacts. Hence, there is an intense need for a successful conclusion to the current negotiations on both climate change and trade. The paper concludes by saying that a successful conclusion of the WTO negotiations on trade liberalization will definitely help improve access to climate-friendly goods and technologies which are a pre-requisite to address climate change concerns. On the other hand, a successful round of the UNFCCC negotiations is likely to promote a supportive and open international economic system that would lead to sustainable economic growth and development thereby addressing the problems of climate change better.

Critical Link

Addressing climate change requires coordinated policy responses that incorporate the needs of the most impacted populations. Yet even communities that are greatly concerned about climate change may remain on the sidelines. We examine what stymies some citizens’ mobilization in Kenya, a country with a long history of environmental activism and high vulnerability to climate change. We foreground efficacy—a belief that one’s actions can create change—as a critical link transforming concern into action. However, that link is often missing for marginalized ethnic, socioeconomic, and religious groups. Analyzing interviews, focus groups, and survey data, we find that Muslims express much lower efficacy to address climate change than other religious groups; the gap cannot be explained by differences in science beliefs, issue concern, ethnicity, or demographics. Instead, we attribute it to understandings of marginalization vis-à-vis the Kenyan state—understandings socialized within the local institutions of Muslim communities affected by state repression.
