Abstract
This paper focuses on the recent trends of private and unilateral efforts to account for the carbon emissions of traded goods, with the objective of identifying possible risks and opportunities for Latin American and Caribbean exporters. It presents a description of the ongoing initiatives, standards and proposed legislation that are relevant to the discussion. It follows this by identifying the shortfalls and challenges of carbon footprinting, and the implications for Latin American and Caribbean export competitiveness. Finally it provides policy suggestions for the region, assuming the growing demand for carbon emissions accounting
