Climate Change and International Investment Agreements: Obstacles or opportunities?
However, while investment has a key role to play in meeting this challenge, the international treaties that often govern foreign direct investment may in fact work against this objective or, at best, may miss important opportunities to contribute positively. This paper examines the extent to which international investment treaties may in fact help or hinder host states' efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change. It also considers how future international investment agreements might be designed to support a host state's climate change objectives, including through promoting investment which does so.
