Overcoming the climate crisis with trade-based strategies

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, November 7, 2023

However, economic growth is still possible, with economies showing a range of responses to the impacts of global heating.

Key Points: 
  • However, economic growth is still possible, with economies showing a range of responses to the impacts of global heating.
  • Recently, Martina Bozzola, Fabio Santeramo and I joined together to understand whether the climate crisis is creating new trading patterns.
  • Our research concludes that international trade may serve as an adaptation strategy to climate change.

Changes in temperatures leading to new shipping routes

  • In absolute terms, trade tends to increase more substantially for routes in the northern hemisphere, particularly when the European Union and the United States are involved: the intra-EU shipping routes are expected to increase annually by more than 1 billion dollars each.
  • The monetary gain in the EU-US route is also relevant, rising from 611 to 893 million dollars more per year depending on the EU trading partner.
  • Northern (developed) countries tend to have a colder climate and higher trade values with respect to the southern (developing) countries.
  • Under the same increase in temperature differences, a higher level of economic development may explain the larger gains in monetary terms.
  • Similar to other central Asian countries that traditionally suffered from a temperature penalty, China would benefit of an improved agricultural productivity with warmer temperatures.

Strategies to survive in a warmer environment

  • Overall, changes in climatic conditions and increasing differences in the temperatures of countries contributes to change the economic geography and shape sectoral specialisations.
  • Developing trading partners with different specialisations would result in a potentially beneficial adaptation strategy to climate change.
