【摘要】 随着经济全球化浪潮的兴起和国际贸易自由化的发展,人类社会的经济增长和可持续发展正受到人类所赖以生存和发展的自然环境的威胁。世界各国的环保运动自20世纪70年代以来一直风起云涌,并已形成了世界范围内的以保护生态环境、防治和减少环境污染、节约和合理利用自然资源为中心内容的环境革命。这场革命日益深刻地影响着人类生活的各个领域,也使当今世界贸易发生了深刻的变化,各种环保意识、法律、规章和措施,越来越多地涉及到自然资源、人类和动植物生命及与健康有关的商品的国际间流动,甚至扩展到服务贸易、技术贸易等领域,“迫使”国际贸易的基本原则、组织规则、甚至基本概念,都作出了相应的变动。WTO作为国际贸易的管理机构,在促进经济全球化和贸易自由化的同时,也必须促进环境保护和人类的可持续发展。WTO诞生之初就提出了国际贸易“绿色化”的概念,旨在使国际贸易与全球环境保护取得协调。WTO有关贸易与环境保护关系的原则和规定的总目标是:根据可持续发展的目标,优化和使用世界资源,根据各自的需要和经济发展的水平,寻求既保护环境又达到上述目标的手段。在许多方面,WTO的国际贸易规则面临着国际国内环境保护法的挑战。环境保护给国际贸易造成的障碍称为环境壁垒或绿色壁垒,就是以国际或国内环境保护条约或法律为依据限制外国产品的市场准入。随着关税的降低以及传统的非关税壁垒的取消,一些发达国家利用WTO环境规则的漏洞,开始在国际贸易中推行“绿色壁垒”这种新的贸易保护主义,国际贸易领域涉及环境问题的贸易摩擦逐渐增多,对发展中国家的对外贸易也产生了重要影响。本文通过对WTO国际贸易与环境保护理论与实践的研究,探讨发展中国家突破发达国家的绿色贸易壁垒的方法和手段,以期不断提高中国企业的国际竞争力,保持我国出口贸易的可持续发展。

【Abstract】 Along with economic globalization and the development of international trade, the economic growth of mankind society is being threatened by the natural environment, which the human beings rely on. The environment problem is widespread and valued by countries of the whole world. Environmental protection is on the upsurge today. Since the 70s in 20th centuries, a global environmental protection is rising up. A revolution of global environmental protection is unavoidable. To protect the ecosystem, to reduce the pollution and to economize natural resources is becoming more and more important. The world trade and service, even our daily life are undoubtedly involved in the great revolution. The more communication and interaction between countries in this economic field, the larger the change of international trade concepts, laws and regulations are.As the administration organization of the world trade, in the process of globalization and free trade, it is necessary for WTO to attach importance to environmental protection and sustainable development. As the establishment of WTO, "greenness" is its oath, and WTO aims to keep the balance between the world trade and the global environmental protection. Its final goal is to Optimize the allocation of resources and to find methods of environmental protection in terms of sustainable development.In many aspects, the international trade rules are confronted with the challenge from either domestic or overseas environmental protection rules and regulations. The barrier brought by the environmental protection is called Environment Barrier or Green Barrier, which prevent the market access of the overseas products into the domestic market. As the decline of Custom duties and the abolishment of the traditional non-tariff barrier, some developed countries began to extend the new trade protectionism "green barriers". Thus in the field of international trade, the trade friction related to environment problems got increased. It does have an impact on the external trade of developing countries. This thesis paper focuses on the theories and practice of international trade and environmental protection, and further investigates the methods and means for developing countries to break the "green barriers" of developed countries, and aims to improve the international competitive capacity of China, and continue the sustainable development of our nation’s export tariff.
