📣 Call for Papers | 5th Annual Green Trade Lab (GTL) Workshop
"Embedding Trade within Planetary Boundaries: Towards a Common, Equitable Future"

📍 University of Basel (Switzerland)
📅 22-23 June 2026

We are very excited to announce our 5th Green Trade Lab annual workshop, which will be hosted in Basel this year!

As global production and consumption push beyond planetary boundaries, how can trade be reshaped to support a just and sustainable transition?
This year, we especially encourage papers engaging with:
- Fairness, inequalities & historical legacies
- Planetary boundaries, tipping points & adaptation
- Geopolitical imaginaries & reordering
- Actors & communities 

We welcome abstract submissions (max. 500 words) from researchers at all career stages and from various disciplines working on the trade-environment nexus (political science, economics, law, sociology, geography, environmental studies, and beyond).

Submit your abstract by 20 February 2026 via this form: https://lnkd.in/eDXWx9eV 

Feel free to share with your networks and we look forward to your submissions!
