- Abstract:
- This paper reviews the literature, especially the most advanced research results on the role of international trade in climate change. We focus on the adaptive role of international trade in attenuating the impacts of climate change, the direct impacts on trades and indirect impacts on labor market. The results indicate that in response to the shock of climate change on agriculture, free trade plays an overall positive role, which will effectively alleviate the welfare losses and potential food crisis, yet this effects still depend on trade policies of different countries. Meanwhile, climate change will alter the current structure of international trade and will impose a sophisticated impact on international trade through shock to the labor market.
