- Abstract
Relatively moderate interest is shown in scientific discourse to the role of trade agreements on climate change. Yet they may contribute to meeting Paris climate targets by reducing tariffs, harmonizing regulation of environmentally friendly products, and eliminating market-distorting agricultural and fossil energy subsidies. The study aims to explore the effects of international trade agreements on climate change based on international literature published in 2010–2020, using a systematic literature review. Based on this, the effectiveness of trade negotiations and WTO agreements are said to be weak due to national interests and protectionism. Indeed international emission-trading schemes and removal of trade barriers may in some cases increase greenhouse gas emissions. The study shows how carbon leakage may undermine achievement of international climate targets. The biggest beneficiaries of trade agreements are the largest developed countries: the United States, China and the European Union. These are also the largest greenhouse-gas emitters. The literature offers policy recommendations to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change with help from trade agreements. The analysis discusses the effectiveness of carbon taxes, carbon tariffs, carbon harmonization, non-tariff barriers to trade and the possibility of reducing carbon leakage.
