The
primary objective of the Roundtable will be to examine the market
and trade realities for the ‘153’ revised environmental product
list proposed by the ‘Friends of Environmental Goods’ within the
WTO Committee on Trade and Environment (CTE)and to test the extent
to which it responds to key sustainable development concerns.
The Roundtable will also discuss appropriate methodologies for
identifying EGS at the national level drawing on experiences in
China and Colombia. Discussions will be based on preliminary findings
of ICTSD commissioned research, including those carried out in
consultation with a number of country-based stakeholders.
