Submission to the Government on the TPPA

The TPPA in its current form is strongly aligned to protecting relatively short-term corporate business interests rather than addressing more important and wider environmental and other issues.

In particular, there is no reference to climate change, even though this is the most urgent and critical issue currently facing mankind.

In earlier drafts of the TPPA there were references to working together to combat climate change, but these were removed at US insistence. Now the agreement does not mention climate change a single time.
