"The greening of trade as a way out of the polycrises? Regress, reforms and rebuilding international cooperation in the environment-trade nexus"

Are you an Early Career Researcher (ECR) working at the intersection of environment and trade?

Are you interested in understanding, examining, or critically reflecting on how to make global trade 'greener'? Or to discuss if that is a possibility?

What policies and institutions are enabling collaboration and what geopolitical threats can hinder ongoing efforts for greener and fairer trade?

Do you work with political science, law, economics, finance, international relations, environmental or interdisciplinary studies for analysing the environment-trade nexus' challenges? If yes to all or any of the above, we are looking for you! 

The Green Trade Lab network brings ECRs working on the intersection of environment and trade, broadly defined, to share their research progress and learn from ongoing policy development via monthly online meetings. Furthermore, after three successful editions, we will hold an annual hybrid research workshop. This time, it will take place on July 3rd and 4th at the University of York, where we have partnered with the York Environmental Sustainability Institute (YESI) and its Resilient Socio-Ecological Systems theme. 

For more details please read the full Call for Abstracts here. The deadline for abstracts is 18 April. Please use this form to submit, and you will know if you were accepted by May 2nd. 

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the beautiful, once-Roman and Viking, city of York in the north of England.
