Environmental Assessments and Capacity Building for Trade Liberalization in the Americas
In 2001, the OAS Department of Sustainable Development (DSD)
through the Inter-American Forum on Environmental Law (FIDA) launched a program
to conduct ex-ante national-level environmental assessments of free trade for
OAS member States in order to assess capacity building needs and sustainable
policy alternatives needed to address negative environmental impacts. Since it's conception, the program has been
executed with governmental and non-governmental partners in the Americas and
with the support of the C.S. Mott Foundation, USAID and USEPA. The initial
focus of this program was the effects of the proposed Free Trade Agreement of
the Americas (FTAA) in MERCOSUR countries. However, the OAS has expanded its
focus to include Central America, the Caribbean and the Andean region. These
assessments address the environmental and social effects of trade liberalization
and economic integration on key country sectors and seek to identify capacity
building needs related to domestic laws, regulations and standards affecting
market access of goods and services.
