Abstract: In this paper we propose to show the economic impact of international trade on the natural environment. Also it is necessary to present the interaction between the international trade and natural environment. A central issue of this scientific approach is how the international trade affects the level and incidence of environmental outcomes. In this sense we have to emphasize that international trade induced environmental damages can be prevented if environmental policy responds to the challenge by tightening up emission standards; but if policy is not responsive, environmental degradation can occur. On the one hand, the international trade promotes growth, that it determines the scale of economy activity increases. On the other hand, more consumption and production will tend to generate more environmental damage. In the contemporarry context of economic globalization we mentione that trade affects the emission intensity of individual consumer goods and production activities. Last but not least, we can add that the international trade flows of goods and services have direct environmental impacts. Thus, transportation activities and unwanted invasive species causes emissions have been a consequence of increased trade have been a consequence of increased trade.
