Policy Position
Up one levelWTO: Hands Off Our Natural Environment!
The present trading system promotes the free movement of goods, services and capital as a goal in itself, rather than ensuring that international trade promotes sustainable and equitable societies. As a result, current and proposed trade rules and agreements as administered by the World Trade Organization (WTO) encourage unsustainable resource use and an inequitable distribution of resources, and can conflict directlywith local, national and international environmental laws.
