This open access book examines the implications of the shift towards minilateralism for international climate law, analysing how climate-related trade measures and Paris Agreement compatible platforms may enhance global climate governance. The landscape of international climate change law is evolving from a traditional consensus-based treaty model, characterized by comprehensive yet often slow-moving agreements, toward a more pragmatic approach known as minilateralism. In this emerging paradigm, smaller groups of countries negotiate and implement trade measures aimed at mitigating climate impacts. An exemplary case is the European Green Deal, which introduces climate-related trade measures as a key instrument for achieving sustainability goals within and beyond Europe. Additionally, countries are exploring minilateral cooperation platforms within the Paris Agreement framework to further their climate objectives. The central questions to be addressed in this book are twofold. First, how can the design of the minilateral schemes comply with the Paris Agreement's international cooperation, common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capacities, and market-based mechanisms principles? Second, to what extent does the climate-related trade measures conform with the WTO regime, particularly with the non-discrimination principles of the trade law, namely most favoured nation and national treatment?
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本開放存取的書籍探討了向小型多邊主義（minilateralism）轉變對國際氣候法的影響，分析氣候相關貿易措施和與《巴黎協定》相容的平台如何增強全球氣候治理。
國際氣候變遷法的格局正在從傳統的共識型條約模式演變，這種模式以全面但往往進展緩慢的協議為特徵，轉向一種更務實的方法，稱為小型多邊主義。在這一新興範式中，較小的國家群體協商並實施旨在減輕氣候影響的貿易措施。一個典型的案例是歐洲綠色協議（European Green Deal），該協議將氣候相關的貿易措施作為實現歐洲內部及外部可持續發展目標的關鍵工具。此外，各國正在探索在《巴黎協定》框架內的小型多邊合作平台，以進一步推進其氣候目標。
本書要解決的核心問題有兩個。首先，小型多邊計劃的設計如何符合《巴黎協定》的國際合作、共同但有區別的責任及各自能力，以及基於市場的機制原則？其次，氣候相關的貿易措施在多大程度上符合世界貿易組織（WTO）體系，特別是貿易法中的非歧視原則，即最惠國待遇和國民待遇？
