Rethinking Hazardous Waste under NAFTA
By Rebecca Slocum


The Mexican government must increase domestic implementation and enforcement, but improving hazardous waste regulation at a tri-national level is also essential, Changing the regulatory atmosphere to ensure NAFTA incorporates sufficient provisions to mitigate the negative environmental impact of trade-led growth is the first step to addressing Mexico's hazardous waste problem. President Obama's campaign pledge to rethink the role of the environment in NAFTA represents a policy to address this critical issue.
