Green Public Procurement under WTO Law

More about the book

Focusing on the strategic implications of public procurement, the book explores how "buying green" can be integrated globally, particularly within the EU. It examines the potential impact of environmental requirements on competition among suppliers, especially in the context of the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) under the WTO. The text delves into the challenges faced by signatory states in balancing trade concerns with environmental objectives, highlighting the pressing need for clarity on the GPA 2012's provisions for incorporating environmental criteria in procurement practices.
