Trade and Environment Review 2006: Environmental Requirements and Market Access for Developing Countries--Developing Pro-active Approaches and Strategies

This edition of the Review focuses on environmental and related health requirements and their impact on developing countries' market access. It examines both the opportunities and challenges presented by these requirements. It also includes both general and sectoral analyses of the issue, and looks at two sectors where environmental requirements are critical to market access: electrical and electronic equipment and organic agricultural products. The Review also provides an overview of recent UNCTAD technical cooperation and capacity building activities in the area of trade and environment.
