¿El medio ambiente debería ser un tema prioritario para la OMC? Por qué sí o por qué no. by TradeTankMX Comercio Internacional https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2 Should the environment be a priority issue for the WTO? L'environnement doit-il être une question prioritaire pour l'OMC? en-us 2022-09-28 00:26:00 UTC 2022-09-29 13:12:11 UTC hello@padlet.com Yes, because environmental protection is a cross-cutting issue. As such, the WTO should address the environmental concerns directly related to trade. https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319253255 2022-09-29 12:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319253255 Sí, pero la OMC no debe ser vista como la foro para tratar temas ambientales, sino como una de los muchas organizaciones internacionales que deben abordar el tema para que puedan contribuir con la parte que les corresponde. https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319253883 2022-09-29 12:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319253883 Yes because it is profoundly linked with global trade https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319255777 2022-09-29 12:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319255777 Sí, porque es un foro que brinda una posibilidad para animar a diferentes sectores a vincularse con la protección del ambiente desde un nivel macro. https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319255788 2022-09-29 12:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319255788 No, because there are existing environment fora with expertise on this like UNFCCC, CBD, Basel Convention etc and there are longstanding issues in the WTO with legal mandates like cotton subsidies, implementation issues, special and differential treatment etc that are still unresolved https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319255874 2022-09-29 12:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319255874 The environment needs to be a priority in the WTO and in trade agreements because otherwise, soon, trade will be irrelevant as food systems, water resources and other aspects of nature will collapse. https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319256387 2022-09-29 12:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319256387 https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319256388 De ello depende que el comercio internacional tenga un futuro prometedor y lleve más beneficios a las personas. ]]> 2022-09-29 12:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319256388 Si, en la medida que la OMC implemente el principio de responsabilidades comunes t diferenciadas y no se licúen las obligaciones de los países desarrollados a proveer medios de implementación para alcanzar los objetivos ambientales. https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319257486 2022-09-29 12:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319257486 No, regulation from a macroeconomic level has proven to not been an adequate mechanism, se the failure of the Kyoto protocol. Instead local steps should be taken in accordance to te sovereignty of states https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319257777 2022-09-29 12:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319257777 Yes, because the climate crisis has direct and long-lasting impacts on trade, so does biodiversity loss and environment degradation. WTO has a specific mandate in addressing these issues such as subsidies. https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319258389 2022-09-29 12:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319258389 Yes. WTO can not be longer isoleted from topics that are cross-crossing with International Trade. The provisions in many agreements related to environment show the needs and urgence for action of the WTO. https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319261901 2022-09-29 12:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319261901 Sí, ante la emergencia climática, debe discutirse en todos los foros https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319272354 2022-09-29 12:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319272354 NO! The world is in peril, and we need evidence-based science-based solutions at the multilateral level, and that means the international agencies with ENVIRONMENT as the priority. We cannot solve the environmental crisis by more trade in refrigerators and plastics. We need to subordinate "rights" of traders to the global interests of human survival on the planet. If negotiators in WTO want to address environment, they should agree to the SDT agenda and the permanent solution for Public Stockholding - supporting sustainable agriculture - and not put up a new liberalization agenda that will only leave us with more of the same. https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319275377 2022-09-29 12:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319275377 https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319339755 We should stick to the CTE mandate including what was agreed in the Doha Ministerial Declaration. The WTO has demonstrated that it cannot and will not solve the world’s most pressing problems. ]]> 2022-09-29 13:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319339755 Market models won't solve the global crisis https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319356178 The WTO has shown itself incapable of addressing fundamental challenges that are the consequences of the WTO's global trade model and rules, including TRIPS, TRIMS, GATS, which are designed for dominant corporate interests. There is no sign from the major states that they are prepared to confront these conflicts and change those rules. Until they are prepared to address those basics, the inclusion of environment can only be window dressing, or worse, become another vehicle to advance the interests of rich countries at the expense of developing countries and the planet.]]> 2022-09-29 13:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tradetankmx/4956ynqbuzg9dva2/wish/2319356178
