Eco-labelling and International Trade

Eco-labelling and International Trade
Commonwealth Trade Hot Topics

Eco-labelling is a process used to inform the consumer of the environmental characteristics of a good or service.

To-date over thirty countries have passed legislation and instituted eco-labelling programmes and there are presently more than sixty eco-labels in existence globally.

This issue of Trade Hot Topics examines the eco-labelling and international trade debate and its impact on trade policies, market access and standard setting policies of relevance to developing countries.
