Trade and climate: for a reconciliation.

Summary In order to limit global greenhouse gas emissions, should international trade be restricted, as advocated by the promoters of "short circuits"? We explain that it is not free trade that destroys the climate, but the fact that it develops in the absence of sufficiently generalized carbon pricing at the appropriate level. In order to reconcile international trade and climate, we make proposals aimed at making the different branches of international regulation work better together to ensure the development of climate cooperation.
