This paper will analyze the changes of international agreement concerned with environment the trends of recent advanced countries` environment regulations. Furthermore, I will focus on the future trade policies and additional suggestions to make WTO system an effective and affirmative trade policy. This paper consists of four part : 1. Introduction 2. Trends and actual conditions on international environment regulations, 3. Effects and counterplans of international environmental regulations on Korea`s trade, 4. Conclusion. As a result of the study, I can find that international environmental regulations influence Korea`s trade, and if advanced countries tax the carbon emissions on all their imports, We can expect the decrease of 5%, about 7million dollars (on the basis of 1992). And if they impose environmental countervailing duties on their imports, we can expect the decrease of around of 2.9%(10million dollars) in our export. In the future, We can expect 2% decrease in America, 4.7% decrease in Japan, 1.8% decrease in EU in the field of Korea` export. And of we predict the commodity, we can expect the decrease of export in fiber products, iron manufacture, steel, autos, cement, paper products, chemicals, and so on.
