We consider the climate action policy implications of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The shift of trade rule-making from the World Trade Organization to mega-regional trade negotiations, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, is not positive for effective climate action, which will have to be multilateral in scope, collective in nature, and policy-activist in design. The mega-regionals are plurilateral and exclusionary in scope, competitive in nature, and policy-restrictive in design. Their investment and competition regimes, given teeth by investor-state dispute settlement mechanisms, will militate against the evolution of a coherent and transparent body of climate-policy-friendly case law.
