世界贸易和环境问题已经讨论和辩论了好几代人，但随着国际贸易自由化的增加，这些领域的相互作用在过去十年中开始受到更严格的审查。在关贸总协定/世贸组织贸易谈判乌拉圭回合之后，许多部门的贸易壁垒大大减少，包括森林产品部门。更自由和更广泛的国际贸易的前景使一些观察家试图了解国际贸易与环境问题之间的直接联系和冲突。联合国粮食及农业组织在其2001年10月关于世界森林状况的报告中描述了贸易与环境关系的状况：“贸易与环境问题仍然十分重要，并受到广泛关注。现在人们对环境问题的关注比以前更加认真。关于贸易和环境问题在多大程度上可以或应该相互支持;如何鼓励它们之间的联系;以及在出现冲突的情况下贸易或环境机构是否应该占主导地位，人们的看法仍然存在分歧。随着人们对贸易与环境问题的日益重视，越来越明显的是，这两者之间的相互作用是复杂和多样的，在大多数情况下，不容易解释或理解。
The issues of world trade and environment have been discussed and debated for generations, but the interplay of these fields has begun to receive more intense scrutiny over the past decade with the increase in international trade liberalization. Following the Uruguay round of the GATT/WTO trade negotiations, barriers to trade were greatly reduced in many sectors, including the forest products sector. The prospect of freer and more widespread international trade led some observers to try to understand the direct linkages and conflicts between international trade and environmental issues. In its October 2001 report on the state of the world’s forests, the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization describes the status of the trade-environment nexus: “Issues concerning trade and the environment continue to be important and to receive widespread attention. Concerns about environmental issues are now being taken more seriously than previously...Views continue to differ on how far trade and environmental issues could, or should, be mutually supportive; how their linkages could be encouraged; and whether trade or environmental bodies should predominate in situations where conflicts arise.” As increasing attention is paid to the issues of trade and environment, it is becoming more apparent that the interactions between the two are complex and varied, and in most cases, not easily explained or understood.
