Illegal Trade in Environmentally Sensitive Goods Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ENVIRONMENT INFRASTRUCTURE NATURAL RESOURCES GHOST PROJECT This publication reviews the evidence on the key drivers of illegal trade in environmentally sensitive goods. It also provides an overview of the main economic, social and environmental impacts. The report reviews the data collected by customs and licensing schemes for selected environmentally sensitive goods, including wildlife, fish, timber, ozone-depleting substances (ODS) and hazardous waste, and examines the extent to which this information can be used to identify and measure illegal trade. Five areas are generally considered to be of major importance: illegal trade in wildlife; illegal logging and its associated timber trade; illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing; illegal trade in controlled chemicals (particularly in ozone-depleting substances); and illegal disposal of hazardous waste.The report gives a deep analysis and evidence on Drivers and Impacts of Illegal Trade, Evidence of Illegal Trade, International Licensing Schemes and Trade Restrictions and Implications of National Policy Paris Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development 2012. 2012.
