近年来,环境与贸易之间的关系备受关注。美国是将环境保护纳入自由贸易协定的先驱者。从NAFTA开始,美国所有FTA中都包含了不同程度的环境条款,至美国—秘鲁贸易促进协定,基本形成了较完善的环境条款范式。中国应了解美国FTA环境条款范式,借鉴其经验,在与他国签订FTA时谨慎处理环境条款,从而在协调贸易与环境关系的同时最大限度地维护国家经济利益。 In recent years, the relationship between environment and trade has drawn much attention. The United States is a pioneer in integrating environmental protection into free trade agreements. Starting from NAFTA, all the FTAs ​​in the United States include different degrees of environmental clauses. The United States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement basically formed a relatively complete paradigm of environmental clauses. China should understand the FTA environmental clause paradigm in the United States and learn from its experience. When signing FTAs ​​with other countries, China should carefully handle environmental clauses so as to safeguard the country’s economic interests to the maximum extent while coordinating the relationship between trade and environment.
