| Abstract: | A prioritization methodology was developed to identify key "hot spot" sectors that are vulnerable to adverse environmental impacts from trade liberalization. The methodology relies on internationally approved analytical techniques and indicators relevant to the trade and environment issue. Key outputs of this research include the identification of appropriate economic and environmental indicators, an information compilation strategy, and a step-wise procedure to perform the prioritization process. The methodology presented may reduce time and expenses previously incurred in identifying environmental hot spots. It also may assist in prioritizing actions to mitigate negative consequences of trade liberalization in specific sectors. Electronic Publication |
