Analytic Framework for Assessing the Environmental Effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)

Description

The North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC) [Article10(6)(d)], directs the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), to consider on an ongoing basis the environmental effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). A NAFTA Effects Project Team was assembled to assist the CEC in designing a methodology to fulfill this mandate. The following Analytic Framework is the culmination of the collective work of these North American experts over the course of four years.
