- W2560574000 abstract "Executive Summary This submission provides a critical analysis of Chapter 20 of the Trans-Pacific Partnership dealing with the Environment. The United States Trade Representative has made bold claims that the TPP will enhance the protection of the environment throughout the Pacific Rim. In a rather brief and cursory National Interest Analysis, the Australian Government asserts that the TPP will be engaged in ‘promoting high levels of environmental protection, including by liberalising trade in environmental goods and services, and ensuring TPP Parties effectively enforce their domestic environmental laws.’ In its view, ‘TPP Parties must also take measures in relation to a number of important environmental challenges, such as protecting the ozone layer, protecting the marine environment from ship pollution, combatting illegal wildlife trade and combatting overfishing and illegal fishing. Subsidies for fishing that negatively affect overfished stocks and subsidies for vessels engaged in illegal fishing will be prohibited’. In a somewhat more extensive National Interest analysis, the New Zealand Government has argued that the TPP fulfils its larger environmental objectives. The New Zealand Government maintains that ‘New Zealand’s policy in negotiating environment chapters in trade agreements is guided by four objectives: to promote sustainable development; to ensure trade and environment provisions are mutually supportive; to ensure the Government has the flexibility to regulate for the environment in accordance with national circumstances; and to ensure that environmental provisions are not used as a disguised form of protectionism.’ In its view, ‘The TPP Environment Chapter supports and promotes these objectives and represents the most comprehensive environmental outcome included in any of New Zealand’s FTAs.’ Canada’s Trudeau Government is still engaged in an open consultation about the merits of the TPP. There has been much debate about the TPP and the environment in other nations, which have been participating in the TPP negotiations. A close reading of the text of the TPP reveals that the Environment Chapter fails to provide for sufficient protection in respect of the environment across the Pacific Rim. This submission is based on the refereed research article - Matthew Rimmer Greenwashing the Trans-Pacific Partnership: Fossil Fuels, the Environment, and Climate Change (2016) 14 (2) Santa Clara Journal of International Law 488-542, BePress Selected Works and QUT ePrints . Recommendation 1 - The Environment Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership provides weak overall protection of the environment, biodiversity, and the climate in the Pacific Rim. Recommendation 2 - There was a lack of open, transparent, and democratic consultations and discussions in respect of the Environment Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Recommendation 3 - The Trans-Pacific Partnership fails to reinforce the international framework of multilateral environment agreements. Recommendation 4 - The Environment Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership lacks meaningful enforcement of environmental rules and standards. Recommendation 5 - The Environment Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership does little to protect biodiversity across the Pacific Rim. Recommendation 6 - The Environment Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership has weak text on the oceans and marine capture fisheries. Recommendation 7 - The Environment Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership fails to provide for strong protection of conservation. Recommendation 8 - The Environment Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership has basic text on trade in environmental services. The overall agreement, though, equally promotes the trade in dirty technologies – as much as clean technologies. Recommendation 9 - The Environment Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership fails to address the 21st century international environmental problem of climate change. This is problematic, given the interaction between trade and climate change. Recommendation 10 - Other Chapters of the Trans-Pacific Partnership – dealing with Investment, Intellectual Property, Development, Technical Barriers to Trade, and Public Procurement – undermine environmental policy, sustainable development, and climate action." @default.
