Trade and Climate Change
Call for Papers
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges the international community is currently facing. Mitigating global warming and adapting to its consequences will require far-reaching changes in global economic framework and major economic investment. Above all, unequivocal determination on the part of policy-makers, economic actors and citizens is needed.
With this objective, we would like scholars and policy makers in mainland China to submit your papers on the following core topics of our annual SUIBE-KAS conference:
The Effects of Trade and Free Trade Policies on Climate Change;
The Impact of Climate Change on the Direction and Flows of Trade;
Trade as a Means of Economic Adaptation to Climate Change;
Policies and Institutions to Mitigate and Adapt to Climate Change and Their Trade Impacts;
WTO Trade Negotiations on Trade and Environment.
This year‘s our conference will consist of two sections: a keynote speech section where we will invite WTO officials and senior scholars to present their research findings and frontier reports. During section II young Chinese scholars and policy makers will present those papers, which had been selected by the organisers.
