Under the research study titled Capacity Building in Trade-Environment Issues in Bangladesh: Addressing the WTO Work Programme, CPD has completed a study on Environmental Debates in the WTO: Defining Bangladesh’s Interests. The study focuses on some of Bangladesh’s interests and concerns in the context of the ongoing discussion in the WTO. The study argues that for strengthened global integration into the process of globalisation, Bangladesh needs to take a more proactive interest in environment related issues in the WTO. The study report, published as an Occasional Paper, has been prepared by CPD Research Fellow Dr Fahmida A Khatun.
