Abstract

With the development of economic globalization, the current world trade is developing quite rapidly. At the same time, however, various problems that need to be resolved have emerged. The climate problems caused by trade pollution to the environment are global, and the energy depletion and pollution problems caused by over-exploitation are even commonplace. In addition, the rapid development of trade seems to ignore the corresponding inequality issues, including but not limited to inequality between developed and developing countries, regional inequality, and income and wage inequality. Based on the problems that have emerged, the United Nations agreed in 2015 on a new set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a universal call for action to eradicate poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all by 2030. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are comprehensive-they recognize that actions in one area will affect outcomes in other areas, and development must balance social, economic, and environmental sustainability. This paper will discuss the external environmental impact of trade law and the inequality in development, analyze the current international trade and the solutions to the problems caused by it, and it also proposes innovative methods and recommendations for trade law to adapt to the sustainable development goals, especially in SDG13 and SDG10.
