Certain products that have multiple uses because the potential environmental benefits of trade liberalisation may be uncertain are of particular concern. It may be easier to build a broad consensus around goods with an exclusive or predominantly environmental use, as potential environmental benefits are more certain. The purpose of this issue paper is to support public understanding of the possible environmental, trade and developmental implications of the WTO negotiations on environmental goods and services (EGS), in particular for developing countries, by analysing the specific case of climate-related single-use (EGs). This note analyses the identification of predominantly single-use EGs linked with climate-related technologies and also analyses corresponding trade flows, tariffs and Non-tariff barriers (NTBs). However, the intention of this paper is not to identify an exhaustive list of climate-related single-use EGs. In sum, this paper looks whether trade liberalisation of climate-related single-use environmental goods could contribute to a more balanced outcome on EGS in the WTO negotiations."
