This paper identifies services that are directly linked to the diffusion of climate change mitigation technologies and analyzes specific commitments made by the major trading countries of these services. Given that some of the key services required for mitigation options, ranging from energy efficiency projects to utility-scale wind power projects, are often unavailable in the countries hosting the projects, liberalizing trade in these services could not only facilitate the diffusion of associated climate change mitigation technologies, but also enable countries to easily get access to such services.
