Abstract

Since the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit of 1992, sustainable development has become a cornerstone of international policy. International trade policy, in particular WTO, should not stand aside from this challenge. This article explains the reasons for the historical disaffection between trade and environment and explores what WTO could do for a more sustainable trade.
