﻿ Is the WTO the only way? | Greenpeace International  Is the
WTO the only way?  Publication - December 2, 2005 This briefing
paper addresses the need to secure a safe political and legal
space for the environment and outlines a number of alternative
approaches, which would enable governments to move the current
negotiations on the relationship between trade rules and MEAs
from the WTO to a more suitable forum. Additionally, the
emergence of more environmental related trade disputes has re-
emphasised the need for an alternative dispute settlement
procedure to that of the WTO for solving trade and environment
conflicts. Alternatives to the WTO do exist and this paper
provides information on the most relevant options. It also
elaborates on a few proposals for institutional reforms that
would strengthen these alternative institutional options.
