in Egypt says the most realistic way to make deep emissions cuts without reducing living standards in richer countries and harming development prospects in poorer ones is through advancing low-carbon technologies.
One example of how the 164-member WTO might help is by cutting tariffs and other barriers for low-carbon industries which tend to be higher than for carbon-intensive ones, the report said. By the global trade watchdog's own admission, trade has been "part of the problem" in the past - by generating transport emissions and by helping to drive carbon-intensive growth.
