Details of the Conference/Seminar

The issue of trade and the environment is being discussed since many years. Some writers have stated that increased trade leads to economic development, which in turn increases the capacity of people to care for the environment and spend on environmentally friendly products and services. On the other hand, critics contend that an increase in trade leads to an increase in production, transportation, and consumption, which has a damaging effect on the environment and is responsible for climate change.
