国际贸易与可持续发展目标的具体目标有着深刻的相互作用。本研究发现，虽然贸易提高了发达国家的环境可持续发展目标得分，但却降低了发展中国家的环境可持续发展目标得分，并且与国家之间的相邻贸易相比，远距离贸易对得分的贡献更大。联合国通过了17项可持续发展目标（sdg），其中包括169个具体目标。国际贸易对全球可持续性和人类福祉具有重大影响。然而，人们对国际贸易对实现可持续发展目标的影响知之甚少。本研究表明，国际贸易对实现九项与环境有关的可持续发展目标的全球进展产生了积极影响。国际贸易提高了大多数（65%）被评估的发达国家的可持续发展目标得分，但降低了60%以上被评估的发展中国家的可持续发展目标得分。考虑到贸易因素时，发达国家的可持续发展目标得分高于发展中国家，但如果不考虑贸易因素，这些得分将低于发展中国家。此外，遥远国家之间的贸易比邻近国家之间的贸易对实现这些全球可持续发展目标的贡献更大。与邻近贸易相比，遥远贸易对发达国家实现可持续发展目标更有利，但对发展中国家可持续发展目标得分的负面影响更大。我们的研究表明，加强对贸易中虚拟资源的核算和管理，对于实现和平衡所有人的可持续发展至关重要。
International trade interacts with Sustainable Development Goal targets in profound ways. This study finds that while trade improves scores for environmental Sustainable Development Goals in developed countries, it decreases them in developing countries, and distant trade is a bigger contributor to scores than adjacent trade between countries.The United Nations has adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with 169 targets. International trade has substantial influences on global sustainability and human well-being. However, little is known about the impacts of international trade on progress towards achieving the SDG targets. Here we show that international trade positively affected global progress towards achieving nine environment-related SDG targets. International trade improved the SDG target scores of most (65%) of the evaluated developed countries but reduced the SDG target scores of over 60% of the evaluated developing countries. The SDG target scores of developed countries were higher than those of developing countries when trade was accounted for, but those scores would be lower than those of developing countries if trade were not a factor. Furthermore, trade between distant countries contributed more to achieving these global SDG targets than trade between adjacent countries. Compared with adjacent trade, distant trade was more beneficial for achieving SDG targets in developed countries, but it more negatively affected SDG target scores in developing countries. Our research suggests that enhancing the accounting for and management of virtual resources embedded in trade is essential for achieving and balancing sustainable development for all.
