Global public goods are those whose benefits affect all citizens of the world. National defense is a national public good, as its benefits are enjoyed by citizens of the state. Public fireworks are a local public good, as anyone within eyeshot can enjoy the show. The scope of public goods can be local, national, or global. Public goods are those that are available to all (“nonexcludable”) and that can be enjoyed over and over again by anyone without diminishing the benefits they deliver to others (“nonrival”). What are public goods, and how can they be supplied globally? The COVID-19 pandemic, refugee crises, climate change-these global problems have exposed the need for public goods that are likewise global. i GATT ( Matz-Lück) Article XX lit.Global institutions must coordinate to preserve the goods that benefit us all g GATT ( Matz-Lück & Wolfrum) Article XX lit. d GATT ( Reyes-Knoche & Arend) Article XX lit.

The Agreement has been referred to in roughly 200 disputes initiated under GATT 1947 and many of the currently roughly 400 WTO disputes.
