+Our country entry into WTO will make revolutionary change on Chinese economy, which promotes the marketamization, globalization, knowledgelization and greenlization of Chinese economy. At the same time when environmental protection and continual development have become the world's mainstream, GATT/WTO, as the mechanism of economic and trade agreement, also emphasize on it. Through 30 years'research, discussion and dispute settlement, WTO has gradually set up its attitude to environmental protection, and has add some related contents into the trade regulation, which however, is still in need of deepening, specification and explicitness.As an international organization aiming at maintaining and promoting international free trade, WTO has indelibly contributed to the maintenance of stable and harmonious international trade order in the past 50 years. However, WTO is in a dilemma when it confronts with environment problem. Actually WTO is seeking a better way between trade and environment regulations. In the system of WTO, to deal with the systems and rules of environmental protection and free trade can be called a two-edged sword. For China, who is still not familiar with WTO rules, we must know the two edges of the sword like the palms of our hands. Only in this way can we use the rules freely. We have to not only obey the rules but also exert our might; not only improve our environment protection standards but also explode and conquer the green barrier on our exporting products from foreign countries. The complexity, hardness and challenge have showed themselves in international trade practice in the latest several years.The tenet of this dissertation is to let Chinese people have an understanding of rules related to trade and environment in WTO legal framework at the same time when they get to know the significant relationship between international trade and environmental protection; and with a view to the development tendency of WTO, to set up strategies and laws and regulations replying to the green economy in order to adapt China fully to the new demands of international trade in the environment-protection era.
