The Challenge
We can only achieve a prosperous and fair clean economy if our international trade and climate agreements raise standards for workers, consumers, and the environment.
The Opportunity
A founding principle of the BlueGreen Alliance is support for a just trade policy for the 21st century that promotes growth and prosperity across all sectors of the global society—not just for multinational corporations and a few elites. These policies should embed enforceable labor, environmental, and human rights standards in our trade agreements.
Through an open, public process, the United States can partner with other nations in mutually beneficial trade and climate agreements that are fair, protect workers’ rights and jobs, safeguard the environment; ensure the democratic processes of sovereign nations are not overturned by unelected bodies; and raise the bar for consumer and public protections in all nations that are signatories.
