Absztrakt (kivonat)

International trade is a cornerstone of the global economy, creating a link between consumers and producers on every market in the world. However, the economic development represents an important contributor to the environmental degradation and pollution.In 2023,international shippingalone accounted for approximately3% of globalCO₂ emissions, a figure that could double by 2050 if no action is taken. To illustrate the current situation with a fact: in 2009, the20 largest container shipsemitted as much sulfur dioxide annually asALLthe cars on the planet combined. (Vidal, 2009)Certain industries and manufactured, such as fashion goods, electronic goods, food industries, are particularly creating important damages to the environment due to carbon emissions generated by their production, their consumption but also their distribution chains. In addition to this,energy,agricultureandconstructionindustries dominate the global trade in volume, and they represent significant contributors on the world pollution. Finding solutions or innovations in those sectors is more than important because they represent a majority of our economies.Countries play different roles in international trade in function of their characteristics, but they all have sustainable challenges that can unite them in one goal. Largest producers such as China, the United States and India, generate huge quantities of goods and services but with significant environmental costs. In same time, countries with high consumption rates, including north American countries and many European countries, contribute disproportionately to resource waste and demand. This difference in balances raises urgent questions about sustainability, environmental objectives and equity in global trade.Over the past decades, efforts have been made to reduce the environmental impact of international trade because first consequences of pollution appeared. New cleaner energies, technologies with a lower energy consumption and tougher regulations led to improvements of the situation. However, the quick growth in the world production and consumption keeps higher rates than those efforts and improvements. As demand for services and goods keeps increasing, national resources demand is also exploding and it highlights the urgent need to find sustainable solutions and recreate trade practices. Without stronger actions everywhere in the world, those improvements will be outpaced by more and more environmental challenges driven by a current growth that is not sustainable. The question of keeping raw materials inside the ground is also a key question that experts need to solve if we want to keep a livable planet for future generation and if we decide to exploit those resources, it is important to know how we will extract them.
