"This study demonstrates that the imminent danger of climate change necessitates fundamental reforms in world trade regulation. The decadesold aim of liberalising trade between countries and creating a free world market runs counter to climate protection. What used to be controversially debated has now been empirically proven: the expansion of markets and trade relations fuels climate change."
