Dear young scholars,
we are inviting Early Career Researchers working at the intersection of the environment and trade to submit an abstract for the 2025 edition of the Green Trade Lab Early Career Researcher annual workshop.
Our workshop is entitled “The greening of trade as a way out of the poly-crises? Regress, reforms and rebuilding international cooperation in the environment-trade nexus” and it will take place on Thursday and Friday 3-4th July 2025 at the University of York, UK, with the possibility to participate over Zoom.
The Green Trade Lab network aims to provide a platform for early-career researchers to critically reflect upon attempts to green global trade and the pushback they face. This year’s workshop invites interested ECRs to pay particular attention to the potential implications stemming from weaker international cooperation and heightened geopolitical conflicts as the world edges over planetary tipping points.
We welcome submissions that investigate the environment-trade nexus from the perspectives of different disciplines, such as economics, political science, law, geography, environmental sciences, and interdisciplinary approaches. Applicants may conduct theoretical, empirical, doctrinal or critical enquiries using quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods, focusing on governmental, non-governmental, private or international actors, policies, legislations, institutions, or systems.
The full Call for Abstracts is here. Interested scholars can submit their contributions via this form. We welcome abstracts until 18 April 2025.
We would appreciate it if you could pass the message to any of your colleagues; PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, etc. who could find this invitation interesting.
Our best regards,
Paulina Flores Martinez, University of York
Charline Depoorter, University of Basel
