Totally ineffective and counterproductive.

Doing what you suggest would not necessarily have any impact on emissions (as they might just shift to another country) while ensuring that 1.3 billion people remain poor and that their country remains undeveloped.

Far better to impose strict requirements on production methods. But if that is more expensive there should also be financial help available to countries that may not afford it.
