India looks to build consensus at WTO to block non-trade issues

India is pushing for forging consensus with like-minded countries at the World Trade Organization in order to prevent entry of non-trade issues such as environment and sustainability into the trade negotiations. Brazil, China, Thailand and South Africa are some of the countries which could get affected and India will try to build a consensus with them. The move by advanced economies to impose green taxes has already made the developing and emerging economies wary of such moves.
