Even if you love or hate international trade, it is a good negotiating tool. Can Australia's desire to have a free trade agreement with the EU force Australia to "punch above its weight" on climate?

No, it is a great negotiating tool if u hate free trade. But if u love it, this is terrible because it tries to obtain a tiny climate benefit through the risk of destroying a great welfare benefit

Climate policy is a collective action problem. Using such policy tools to compel all actors to cooperative behaviour is thus a very useful tool. (And need not to have any trade impacts at all if states adhere to their Paris commitments in the first place)

You need common rules otherwise you end up in a classic market failure situation as described in the prisoner's dilemma or tragedy of the commons. Without common standards you get a race to the bottom.

In general I would agree, but in this case EU is big & Australia small. I am sure Australia has much more to gain from an FTA then the EU. Therefore EU can use climate as a tool. If EU & Aus were similar size, I don't think EU would pull the climate card...

This would all rely on logical decision-making models and Australia acting in national self-interest rather than vested interest, which has not been a feature of the current govt
