Standing Up for the Environment: Trade for a Greener World

This report includes illustrative case studies on the Obama Administration’s efforts in a number of key countries—Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Morocco, Oman, and Peru—in which USTR and the U.S. Department of State have had intensive engagement on environmental issues in recent years. Presenting unique opportunities and challenges, each country has required a tailored approach. Its objective in each, however, has been the same—to ensure that increased trade goes hand in hand with increased environmental protection.
