Chapter Three — Alternative trade rules for climate action  

Thursday, May 21 2020 

10 a.m. CST / 11 a.m. EST / 5 p.m. CEST 

The Green New Deal proposals emerging around the world call for transformation of our economies, so they meet the needs of people and the planet. In this session we will explore trade alternatives that go beyond the false choice between right-wing nationalism and neoliberal free trade. How do current trade rules constrain us, and how could alternatives be designed that prioritize human rights and the environment?
