International trade rules have significant impacts on environmental law and policy, at the domestic, regional and global levels. In the WTO, dispute settlement tribunals are increasingly called to decide on environment-related questions. For example:- Can members treat products differently based on environmental considerations?- Can members block the import of highly carcinogenic asbestos-containing products or genetically modified products crops?- Can members require labelling for .dolphin-friendly. tuna? This Guide, authored by five world leaders on international environmental and trade law at the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), is an accessible, comprehensive, one-of-a-kind compendium of environment and trade jurisprudence under the WTO. Providing an overview for both experts and non-experts of the major themes relevant to environment and trade, it also analyses how WTO tribunals have approached these themes in concrete disputes and provides selected excerpts of the most significant cases. «
