The partners have produced the following research papers:
- A new approach to transparency and accountability in the WTO
Mark Halle and Robert Wolfe - Sustainable Markets are Growing - Is Sustainability Keeping Pace?
Jason Potts and Mark Sanctuary - The Law and Economics of Trade in Biofuels

ENTWINED was established four years ago to develop research on policy alternatives for managing the trade and environment interface. The purpose is to provide scientific knowledge and tools to support Swedish and other European negotiators and stakeholders in integrating environmental aspects into the international trade regime.
ENTWINED is funded by Mistra (Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research), which invests in research for sustainable development.
