Background and activities
The WTO, UNEP and many other organizations are working towards an addition to the global trading system where environmental goods and products, and environmentally friendly technology are prioritized. The challenges are, among other things, to create criteria for the selection of goods and technology, and to determine which goods are to be designated as environmental products.
We have conducted a study for the Foreign Ministry (and WTO) in 2014-15 and a UNEP Environment and Trade Hub as partner of the Technology and Management Center for Development, Oxford University.(2018-19).
