World Trade Organization (WTO) Environmental Agreements

The World Trade Organization (WTO) facilitates international trade by ensuring that trade flows as smoothly and predictably as possible. Its environmental agreements focus on promoting sustainable development while encouraging trade. These agreements help countries implement measures to protect the environment, such as regulating harmful substances and promoting conservation efforts. They aim to balance trade regulations with environmental protection, ensuring that trade does not compromise ecological integrity, thereby fostering cooperation among countries to tackle global environmental issues while still allowing for open trade.
