Trade and Sustainable Development Principles
Trade and Sustainable Development Principles were drafted by nine eminent members of the trade, environment and development communities internationally.
The "Winnipeg Principles" include the following:
- efficiency and cost internalization;
- equity ;
- environmental integrity;
- subsidiarity;
- international cooperation;
- science and precaution; and
- openness.
This concise book is designed to aid negotiators in trade, environment and development, as well as the wider group that influences their decisions: business, environment and development NGO's, academics and multilateral institutions in the United Nations and beyond.
The principles point to ways in which policies, practices and agreements can work to achieve.
