Most of the trade鈥揺nvironment听interface听examined in the module听relates to听climate change mitigation (eg,听border carbon adjustments and promotion of climate-friendly, renewable energy)听and is thus closely connected with听SDG7:听Affordable and Clean Energy and听SDG13:听Climate Action. It听also considers听other global environmental concerns, such as听biodiversity, conservation, precaution and fair and equitable profit-sharing, as well as the fight against unsustainable fishing practices听鈥� the latter being directly linked to听SDG14: Life Below Water.听听

By bringing together students from the different听LLM听specialisms within one classroom, the module听seeks听to encourage mutual learning and constructive exchange on the heated 鈥榯rade-and-environment鈥� debate.听
