The 2019 agenda of the Emirate of Dubai included the Plan for Reducing the Environmental Impacts of the Aviation Sector agreed upon by all relevant stakeholders such as Dubai airports, air carriers, aviation infrastructure developers, ground handlers, and navigation services providers. The Plan developed a smart platform to collect data on aviation environmental impact, such as carbon emissions, noise, and air quality. Since 2016, the UAE has been a member of the ICAO's Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection, which assists the ICAO Council in formulating policies and adopting standards and recommended practices related to aviation's environmental impact.

Australia's objectives in negotiations on trade and environment issues are to liberalise international trade in environmental goods and services, recognising the important role that trade can play in addressing climate change and pursuing other environmental goals. Australia continues to work with other WTO Members on the relationship between WTO rules and specific trade obligations in multilateral environmental agreements, ensuring that trade measures do not clash with other relevant treaties and that environmental measures do not act as an avenue for trade protectionism. Australia is playing a lead role in negotiations with other WTO Members for a plurilateral agreement to liberalise trade in environmental goods.

In January 2014, Australia and 13 other WTO Members, including China, the European Union, Japan and the United States launched negotiations for a plurilateral agreement on the liberalisation of trade in environmental goods. The EGA will be a non-preferential plurilateral agreement, reinforcing the multilateral trading system and benefiting all WTO Members by applying the principle of Most Favoured Nation. The EGA will build on commitments made by APEC Leaders in 2012 for reductions in tariffs on a list of 54 environmental goods, and will likely include other goods that directly and positively contribute to green growth and sustainable development. Australia is the current chair of the negotiations, which commenced in July 2014. When concluded, the agreement will eliminate tariffs on an agreed range of goods to help protect the environment and address climate change.
