Book excerpt: International trade law and international environmental law have experienced a different evolution, characterized by the precedence of the international economic order on the development of environmental law. In this paper, relations between international trade and the environment have been discussed within its implications at national and internal levels. It was shown that the absence of a firm balance between the two has affected climate change.For a country like Oman who depends mainly on the oil and gas sector, the issue of reducing CO2 emission needs the formulation of strict environmental and energy policies. The government can adopt and encourage the use of renewable energy as the best alternatives for oil and gas.
