Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP-11)

$45.00

Introduction

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is proposed on the backdrop of rapid economic and population growth in the Asia-Pacific region which has led to a number of environmental concerns. The region is faced with a myriad of environmental challenges including high rate of wildlife trafficking, illegal logging, illegal fishing, increased marine pollution, and others that are a threat of human health, habitat and biodiversity.[1]  The TPP is geared towards addressing these concerns and preventing inability to enforce domestic environment regulations used to attract trade and investment opportunities that disregard environment concerns.[2] Therefore, TPP negotiation seeks members to have environmental commitments and obligations that promote mutually supporting trade and environmental policies, environmental protection and enforcing of environmental regulations, and building capacities of the members to address trade-related environmental challenges through mutual cooperation[3].
