Checklist for Negotiators of Environmental Provisions in Regional Trade Agreements
This document provides a checklist on environmental issues for negotiators of regional trade
agreements (RTAs) in order to provide guidance to countries wishing to include environmental provisions
in RTAs. The checklist draws on countries’ experience of negotiating and implementing environmental
provisions of RTAs, which other countries may find useful when considering their own approaches to
environmental issues in RTAs.
The checklist is intended to provide a reference to assist discussion of environmental issues, when the
inclusion of environmental provisions is considered appropriate, before, during and after negotiation of
trade agreements. It is by no means prescriptive. As the number and variety of RTAs continues to increase,
the checklist should be viewed as a ‘living document’ that could be modified and updated as countries gain
new experience.
