High-level reports have attributed pollutant reductions to citiesʼ inclusion of green spaces; however, one study found that while trees are negatively associated with air pollutants when considered on a citywide scale, at the street level, this association is minimal and at times positive. Because research tends to focus on large-scale effects in cities, decision-makers may be unaware that those outcomes are not always generalizable across spatial scales.

Percent Change in Average Global Market Prices by Commodity in Two Agricultural Trade-Reform Scenarios

Ratified in 2017 by two-thirds of World Trade Organization member nations, the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA. is a trade-reform measure that aims to reduce redundant customs procedures and other costly aspects of international trade.
