摘要：Reducing emissions ofgreenhouse gases will require the developing carbon management technologies that are not currently available or that are not currently cost-effective. While market mechanisms, such as carbon pricing, must play a central role in stimulating the devel opment ofthese technologies, governmental policy aimed at fostering carbon management technologies and lowering their costs must also play a part. Both types ofpolicies will form part ofan optimal green house gas control portfolio. This article develops aframework of in ternational trade and investment law insofar as they may affect carbon management technologies. While it is commonly perceived that international trade law and investment law usually constrain the development of environmental policy, the flipside is often ig nored. In addition to discussing how carbon management policy might be constrained, this article also identifies opportunities within the framework of international trade and investment law in which carbon management technologies might be advanced or supported.
