Recommendation 9

As part of its new trade strategy, the Government should clearly set out how it will promote the liberalisation and export of environmental goods and services, particularly in and to the fast-moving Asia-Pacific region. The strategy must be aligned with the UK’s industrial strategy, underpinned by clear commitments to assess and respond to strategic dependencies and anti-competitive distortions in sectors of national security, while maintaining the UK’s support for a rules-based trading system.
