The relationship between economic growth and environment protection has been source of grt controversy for a long time. On one hand many experts belive that growing economic activity and extracting economic resources cause destruction in envoirment ,on other hand some ecomince growth argue that its not possible to have economic development w/o extracting natural resources which is not harmin our environment and some experts belives that economic growth is long and stady process which olso involve environment protectin. “care for environment is often portrayed as detrimental to economic growth” said by achim Steiner fomer director of ICUN the world conversation union.

Many region of the world have witnessed momentous economic and social changes since the world war 2 .the industrial production of world had increased by 23% from 1995 to 2002 in which agri production by 62% manufacturing pro by 40%. This has led to serious enviromntal disturbance at both local and global levels. most countries in the world are are experiencing deforestation, degradation, water pollution, water shortage, disastrous air pollution, the problems of air and marine pollution, acid rain and harmfull waste have become major concern for countries. beside this greenhouse omission is resulting in global warming and its consequences includes climate change, temperature extreams, sea level risig natural disasters.Environment sustainability in 21st century shuld not be concern for only envirimentalist but of everybody who uses resources on this planet . the major concern or question is arised weather the present period of globalization and ecomic growth is cuasing envorimental collapse then in my view the answer is yes ……….three major enviorment concern arises with the trade is 1.use of harmfull product like polythene ,plastic, etc

2.harmful wasteage arises from the produced good in factory like gas and water pollutioin3.transporting movement use for trading of product

The asian development bank have been counitously warning the enviormental degradation in the world putting ppl health and livehood at risk.as NICHOLAS D KRISTOF have wrote “ it kills 3 lakh ppl each yr mostly children and elderly and yet it is scarcly noticed”Heavy economic growth are cause enviorment connsequenses on poor who depend on agriculture and other natural trade.thel lack pure water supply, live along the roads , and in industial areas.like in the asia pacific region approx 670 million ppl live on income less than 1$ per day ,more than one in every 10 person are effecting from pollution problems, these issue demand urgent action for envoirment conservation as well as further economic growth.

Since Our envoirment is on the risk there are some institution which are organized to protect envoirment and take necessary steps….One of them is WTO ,creted in 1994 wto have become onbe of the most powerful undemocratic body on earth.it has been granted with wast power which include judge weather the laws of nation our in favour of envoirment .the rules are regarding public safety, health, natural envoirmnet,clean air water, wild places etc.1.Recently this organisatio have prevent America and other nation to import goods which are not meeting envoirment standards2. another act was paas named MARINE MAMMAL PROTECTION ACT specifying regarding preservation or to protect fishes like dolphin from tune fishermen

3. in japan, the WTO ruled against them to import harmful fruit which cantains dangerous invasive species.

Thus because of these harsh rules to protect envoirment many nation have become frightend and working on rules. Not only wto there are some companies which are working according enviorment protection.

Economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region is at the crossroads. The rapid increasesin industrial and agricultural production as well as the rising levels of consumption haveresulted in degradation of the environment both in quantity and quality. Meanwhile, thebenefits of this economic growth have not filtered down to all levels of society and about twothirdsof the world’s poor live in the region. Given the limited environmental carrying capacityof the region as well as the enormous need for economic development, strategies areneeded to harmonize the two imperatives of economic growth and environmentalsustainability. A promising strategy to do so is based on the concept of sustainabledevelopment economically sustainable, environmentally sound and sociallyequitable development. Currently, many opportunities are available to shift to a differenttrajectory of sustainable development in the region ( these portunities arecatalyzed by strong political will to integrate environmental concerns into governmentpolicies and utilized by all stakeholders, we can say with confidence that economic growth

and environmental conservation can go together in the region.
