Ben Stansfield is joined by members of our EU, Trade and Competition team Ursula Johnston, Director for Customs and Export Controls and Savannah Would, Trainee Solicitor, to discuss sustainability in the context of international trade.

We discuss some of the conflicts between trade and globalisation, and sustainability. It is common for free trade agreements (FTAs) to include provisions on environmental matters, and we consider to what extent these provisions protect and support environmental protectionism.
