Abstract
"The purpose of this information note is to give an overview of the relation between the regulation of international transport in order to mitigate climate change and the impact this may have on trade. International transport (aviation and maritime shipping) is an important driver of both trade and human-induced climate change. The regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from international transport potentially means raised costs for moving goods and people around the globe. This has implications for trade. Developing countries situated in remote locations and with a large trade exposure, such as some Small Island Developing States (SIDS), would be particularly affected by higher transport costs."
