Why?

This handbook has been developed to highlight the relationship between environment and trade,

to foster a broader understanding of these interlinkages to enable governments to develop practical approaches to integrating these policies,

and to clarify how trade can affect the environment, for better or for worse, and how environmental concerns can work through the trading system to foster or frustrate development, in both rich and poor countries.
