Call for a Canada-UK ISDS Side-Letter in CPTPP

The letter, coordinated by the Trade Justice Movement, Global Justice Now and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and signed by 56 academics and 37 organisations including Greenpeace UK, UNISON and Friends of the Earth, urges Rishi Sunak and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau to “take immediate steps” to ensure the UK’s recent accession to the treaty does not block its ability to “enact mandated climate and environmental policies”.
