The TPP model failed, let’s not resurrect it

Friends of the Earth International argues that the TPP failed because it prioritized corporate interests over people and the environment. The organization calls for a fundamental reset of trade policy, warning that continuing with 'mega trade deals' like the TPP, TTIP, and RCEP fuels populism and undermines climate action and workers' rights.

• The TPP is characterized as a failed model that prioritizes corporate rights over the ability of governments to regulate for environmental protection, workers' rights, financial stability, and access to affordable medicines.
• There is widespread public opposition to 'mega trade deals', including the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), as people challenge the current model of corporate globalization.
• The author contends that corporate globalization has failed to deliver promised global prosperity, instead benefiting the top 1% and multinational companies while contributing to accelerating climate change and unsafe pollution levels, such as in China where 460 million people were affected by unsafe pollution.
• Friends of the Earth International and 200 civil society organizations from 15 countries advocate for a trade policy reset that supports local economies, human rights, a clean environment, and responsible energy and food production instead of reviving the TPP.
