Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Developing nations generally favor an ad valorem tax on all imports to promote environment-friendly development in poorer nations and transfer of environmentally appropriate technology for little or no charge. This is because these measures enable them to balance their environmental concerns with their economic development needs. A permanent trade and environment committee in the WTO may also be helpful in addressing environmental issues in trade, but it is not a top priority for developing nations. Additionally, an ad valorem tax on all imports can provide revenue that can be used to finance environmental initiatives in these countries. Lastly, access to environmentally appropriate technology on favorable terms will enable developing nations to achieve their environmental goals more efficiently and with less cost.
