Response to the United States Trade Representative’s Stated Objectives on NAFTA Negotiations: An environmental perspective

The document analyzes the USTR's July 17, 2017, Summary of Objectives for the NAFTA renegotiation, focusing on how these objectives relate to sustainable growth, environmental protection, and international trade and investment governance.

• The renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is viewed as a critical opportunity to modernize trade provisions among the United States, Canada, and Mexico, specifically regarding environmental protection, investment provisions, market access, public procurement, and enforcement mechanisms.
• The analysis aims to determine how the USTR's objectives impact sustainable growth and seeks to identify ways for negotiators to improve international trade provisions and institutional governance to align with a sustainable development agenda.
