We can only achieve a thriving and fair clean economy if our international trade and climate agreements raise standards for workers, consumers, and the environment.
We were founded with the belief that a just trade policy for the 21st century promotes growth and prosperity across all sectors of the global society and embeds enforceable labor, environmental, and human rights standards in our trade agreements. Today, we are working for trade agreements that accomplish this goal.
Solving climate change should simultaneously build resilient infrastructure, improve community health and safety, safeguard wildlife, and strengthen and create economic opportunities and sustainability for all people.
