Abstract This paper explores how policy reactions to the polycrisis seek to reshape GPNs, encouraging new forms of decoupling and recoupling. I focus on the EU’s trade policy responses to the climate crisis, especially carbon tariffs and the deforestation regulation. These new measures represent a shift from traditional trade policy and a conscious effort to “decouple” EU GPNs from certain geographies where negative environmental externalities are considered unacceptably high. I argue that compared to prior state interventions motivated by strategic and geo-political objectives, this represents a novel form of “sustainability-based decoupling.” It will change incentive structures and geographies in several GPNs.
