WASHINGTON, DC –(ENEWSPF)–November 5, 2015. Today, the U.S. Trade Representative published the text of the secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a 12-nation international trade deal. This comes after years of closed-door negotiations by trade officials and select corporate advisers and years of opposition and demands of transparency from the Sierra Club and millions of Americans. Trade experts at the Sierra Club will soon release a detailed analysis of the environmental implications of the deal, but an initial assessment is that, as predicted, the TPP would threaten the health of communities, the environment, and our climate.
