This paper seeks to develop alternative avenues and methods for the conduct of future negotiations in the global environmental industry. It suggests establishing strong linkages between the UN Millennium Development Goals and Environmental Goods and Services negotiations. The linkage leads to the method of Environmental Area Initiatives (EAI) as an alternative approach. The paper examines water services as an illustration of the linkage between accomplishing trade objectives and the attainment of pertinent MDGs
