Freshwater is an increasingly scarce resource globally, and
effective sustainable management will be absolutely crucial in the
future. This timely book sets out future scenarios of international
trade in both 'real' and 'virtual' water, examining the
relationship between climate change, water scarcity, the human
right to water and World Trade Organization law. Trade in Water
Under International Law addresses questions of global importance
such as: how can international trade in bulk water contribute to
the advancement of the human right to water? Are 'green-boxed'
irrigation subsidies disturbing the markets? Should water-footprint
process and production methods allow for a different treatment of
otherwise 'like' products? From examining the impact of water law
on small-scale farmers in developing countries, to the broader
issue of global environmental responsibility, Fitzgerald Temmerman
explores the options available for fair resource allocation through
international law arrangements such as the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade, and the Agreement on Technical Barriers to
Trade. By taking a wide-reaching and non-technical approach, this
book will capture the attention not only of international trade law
professionals, but of all stakeholders in the field. With such
relevance to contemporary environmental issues, this book will also
be of interest to non-legally qualified individuals who want to
comprehend the future possibilities of fair water trade.
