contents <p>This article examines the WTO’s role in addressing global environmental challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. It analyzes how current trade policies impact environmental goals and identifies gaps in WTO frameworks. The study reviews WTO agreements in relation to carbon pricing, fossil fuel subsidies, endangered species trade, and pollution controls. Findings reveal partial progress but highlight major shortcomings—such as unclear rules on carbon border adjustments, weak subsidy regulations, and trade-conservation conflicts. The article concludes that WTO policies require substantial reform to align with sustainability goals. Recommendations include clearer rules, stronger cooperation, and greater transparency to enhance the WTO’s role in supporting environmentally responsible trade.</p>
