Abstract

In the context of deepening international trade and economic growth, environmental issues have become increasingly prominent, leading to the emergence of Green Trade Barriers as a potential obstacle to trade relations. This paper examines the issues surrounding environmental requirements in international trade, particularly the emergence of Green Trade Barriers. It highlights the legislative inequalities and implementation challenges faced by different countries in meeting these requirements. The ambiguity in environmental regulations creates opportunities for developed countries to establish trade barriers while posing difficulties for developing nations to comply economically and technologically. The author proposes reevaluating and enhancing mutual assistance measures to achieve the goal of environmental protection in international trade law.
