What are sustainability impacts of trade?
• Doha Round -- overall economic and social impacts positive, but– environmental impact negative (per Duncan Brack,
2005).• Trade’s direct environmental impacts (goods
transport) are associated with energy resources– “the most stupendous item is global warming” (Ostry,
p.8).• Trade’s indirect environmental impacts magnify
unsustainable consumption and production patterns.

WTO court rulings
• Trade policy known for rulings on fish cases involving whether Production and Process Measures (PPMs) are “product-related”.
• Next major test case may be whether countries are allowed to prefer sustainablyproduced biofuels
• Member states may discriminate among products only “if it does not distort trade”and no one challenges them (NGOs may advocate discrimination, cf.Max Havelaar).
