This timely volume analyzes the national policies of the United States, Canada, and Mexico; the authors explain how the competing priorities of province, state, or government agendas can slow coordination measures to curtail emissions throughout North America. But, North American cooperation could serve as a model for how developed and developing countries can mutually benefit from an international climate change agreement.Emission reduction is now inextricably linked with trade and finance measures in this post-Kyoto era. The authors argue that the three NAFTA partners can work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while mitigating concerns about trade competitiveness. NAFTA and Climate Change provides a critical assessment of how NAFTA initiatives will contribute to the achievement of important climate-change goals at both regional and global levels. This thorough investigation advances potential solutions, and ideas to develop practical channels for transferring technical and financial assistance from developed to developing countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and further economic development. 606 $aFree trade$xEnvironmental aspects$zNorth America 606 $aFree trade$xGovernment policy$zNorth America 606 $aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xEconomic aspects$zNorth America 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zNorth America 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy$zNorth America 615 0$aFree trade$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aFree trade$xGovernment policy 615 0$aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 676 $a363.738/746097 700 $aFickling$b Meera$01870903 701 $aSchott$b Jeffrey J.$f1949-$0121685 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964822103321 996 $aNAFTA and climate change$94479473 997 $aUNINA
