PERSPECTIVE GLOBAL AND REGIONAL ORDER MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Differential Treatment of Developing Countries in Trade and Climate Change Regimes By Yasmin Ismail and Varun Bhagat March 2023 • The»development lens« is a key and over-arching similarity between the respective trade and climate change global regimes. It emphasises that countries are at different stages of development and have differ­ent resources and capacities. • The WTO and UNFCCC adopted implementation and enforce­ment approaches that were ›anything but similar‹. • The challenge in both fora lies more in ensuring an effective match between the pre-­conditioned needs of develop­ing countries to meet expected developments and the support provided by developed coun­tries.
