Download or read book Submission to the House of Commons International Trade Committee Trade and Environment Inquiry written by Giulia Claudia Leonelli and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This submission addresses questions (1), (3), (5) and (7) posed in the inquiry's terms of reference:• How well are the Government's free trade agenda and its environmental policies aligned? And is the Government ambitious enough in its approach?• What might be the impacts of measures introduced by the UK's trading partners designed to reduce reliance on carbon-intensive fossil fuels - for example carbon border adjustment mechanisms - on UK trade? And what could a UK carbon border adjustment mechanism mean for its imports and exports?• By what measures should the environmental impacts of new free trade agreements be assessed?• What can the UK learn from other countries' experiences of aligning trade and environmental policies? How have other countries innovated in this area?The first section focuses on question (3) on carbon border measures, evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the EU proposal for a carbon border adjustment mechanism ('CBAM') and assessing the potential implications for the UK. It also takes into consideration the effects of the potential adoption by the UK of CBAM-like carbon border measures.The second section addresses questions (1), (5) and (7), focusing on the pursuit of environmental and climate change mitigation goals in the context of UK free trade agreements ('FTAs'). It encompasses an analysis of Trade and Sustainable Development ('TSD') or Environmental Chapters in EU and US FTAs, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages associated with the EU and the US approaches. The UK can learn from these countries' experiences while remedying the weaknesses which are typical of their approach to FTAs. Further, it analyses the extent to which the UK may have recourse to environmental conditionality, with a view to promoting environmental values in different jurisdictions and safeguarding its internal agenda for environmental protection and climate change mitigation.
Download or read book Reclaiming the Future written by Jane Kelsey and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vision of a global future spread through the world like wildfire in the last decade - exhilarating for some, alarming for others, apparently inexorable for all. As free-market advocates would have it, "there is no alternative?" "Reclaiming the Future" tells a different story - that globalization is not inevitable, invincible or intrinsically good. The deregulated global economy has proved highly unstable. The pursuit of unending growth is unsustainable, and the social damage that free markets cause is provoking an international backlash. Jane Kelsey explores the impact of globalization on the New Zealand economy. Her account of foreign investment and free trade policies, the role of the transnationals, and the challenges posed by global agreements and networks will open the eyes of readers. Reclaiming the Future opens wide the debate New Zealanders are seeking for the direction of their country in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Much Ado about Culture written by Archibald Lloyd Keith Acheson and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2009-10-27 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Canada, the audio-visual and print industries are referred to as the cultural industries, whereas the United States calls them the entertainment industries. These language distinctions are accompanied by different domestic policies and political discourses. The United States has relatively open policies toward these activities, while Canada has adopted an inward-looking approach. Failure to integrate cultural industries into NAFTA and WTO has led to trade disputes between Canada and the United States over copyrights, television licensing, violence in media, and discriminatory magazine policy, indicating the need for an agreed-upon process for settling cultural trade disputes. Much Ado about Culture explores the differing sets of policies--cultural nationalism versus the open option--and the resulting conflicts in the context of technological developments as well as international agreements dealing with trade, investment, copyright, and labor movements. The Canadian cultural industries are examined, from film and television production and distribution to broadcasting, publishing, and sound recording. Several areas of recent conflict, such as Sports Illustrated, Country Music Television, and Borders Books, highlight the types of policies disputed, the process followed, and the conclusions reached. Finally, the authors propose an alternative approach to constraining national cultural policies by international agreement that would allow the gains from openness to be realized while serving legitimate cultural concerns. Authored by the acknowledged experts on trade disputes in the cultural arena, this book will be essential reading for international economists, policymakers, and lawyers interested in the cultural industries. Keith Acheson and Christopher Maule are Professors of Economics, Carleton University, Ontario.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
