The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Green Trade Strategy positions CBP as a champion for the green economy and a leader in the fight against climate change; it commits CBP to working with customs authorities, interagency partners and private sector entities around the world to develop greener standards for global trade while creating opportunities for government, industry and the broader public to unify efforts in the creation of a more sustainable future.
