4/5 🌍 Unlike climate-focused policies that leverage trade for emission reductions, protectionism risks driving globalization towards a less sustainable path. Trump’s trade policy reverses the environmental gains from trade.

3/5 🚨 Critically, we find a negative "green sourcing effect": tariffs restructure trade towards more carbon-intensive producers, undermining environmental gains from trade. Even when a relatively green economy like the US imposes tariffs, this "brown sourcing" occurs.

2/5📊 Our findings show that while Trump-style tariffs might slightly reduce global emissions, this is mainly due to a contraction in economic activity (scale effect), not greener production.
