"Environmental implications of protectionist trade policies: mapping channels and advancing analytical capacity" by Rocchi, Paola, Valentina Bosetti, Baptiste Boitier, Lorenza Campagnolo, Alessia Campolmi, Maksym Chepeliev, Chiara Forlati, Panagiotis Fragkos, Lukas Hermwille and Alexandros Nikas Abstract Strategic, competitiveness-driven, and protectionist trade measures are increasingly reshaping global trade, while climate commitments face mounting urgency. Recent shifts in economic governance suggest a departure from decades of liberalisation, with governments increasingly adopting measures to boost domestic competitiveness or restrict imports. While trade-restricting measures such as tariffs and non-tariff barriers directly limit market access, industrial policies aimed at strengthening domestic competitiveness and strategic autonomy indirectly affect trade flows and production patterns. Although often driven by different objectives, these measures risk weakening international cooperation, distorting markets, and reprioritising domestic competitiveness over global collaboration, including on climate action. This evolving policy landscape calls for renewed scrutiny of the trade-climate nexus. This contribution offers an integrative framework that brings together fragmented insights on trade-climate interactions and applies them to current policy developments. By mapping the key mechanisms through which trade influences emissions, their interactions, and the enabling conditions that shape environmental outcomes, the paper clarifies when and how different trade regimes may either hinder or support climate objectives. |
