The climate talks concluding in Paris have often been seen as being about the environment. But they are about much more: COP21 is a crucial summit about the future of international trade.
The Paris outcome will affect the ability of trade to foster growth, create jobs and boost development. It will also determine the power that trade will have to fight poverty in the future.
The reason is simple: in developing countries, rural communities – where most poor people live today – rely heavily, if not almost exclusively, on their natural habitat and resources for income, food, fuel and shelter. Their habitat determines what they produce and what they can trade. But due to climate change, this habitat is now being altered, sometimes dramatically.
