Environmental Assessments and Capacity Building  for Trade Liberalization in the Americas: Andean Region

The DSD with organizations such as the Peruvian Society of Environmental Law (SPDA), the Colombian Institute for Environmental Law(ICDA) and the Ecuadorian Center for Environmental Law (CEDA) is conducting national environmental assessments in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, to examine to what extent domestic markets in the region are likely to change as trade barriers fall, and what environmental consequences can be anticipated from these economically driven effects.  The model also examines regulatory effects and how legal and institutional frameworks (domestic and regional) can address these changes.  The analysis is intended to provide member states with capacity building and realistic policy options that make trade expansion more sustainable for the region.  The reports are available below  only in Spanish.
