TTIP and Climate Change: Low economic benefits, real climate risks

The document asserts that the TTIP trade and investment agreement between the EU and US poses risks to climate goals by potentially increasing emissions and restricting national mitigation and adaptation efforts. It proposes recommendations to align EU-US trade policy with global climate objectives.

• The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has the potential to raise greenhouse gas emissions and limit the capacity of countries to effectively address climate change through mitigation and adaptation strategies.
