The purpose of this background paper is to give an overview of the regulation of international transport (aviation, shipping) in the face of climate change. This paper attempts to inform the different stakeholders in international transport on the direct relationship between international transport, trade and climate change. It also tries to give a clear insight into the economic impacts of transport regulation and the possible ways to offset these impacts for vulnerable countries. Thus, this paper aims to contribute to the discussion on the design and impacts of market-based solutions and other regulation instruments.
