The expansion of global trade raises questions on the impact of trade on the environment, inversely, a change in the natural environment can also modify trade patterns. This paper brings in light the impact of global integration in terms of trade on environment. One potential benefit of trade is that it allows the developing countries to adopt the new technologies from the developed countries which might potentially reduce emissions and improve the environment. When poor, developing countries are competing with each other to survive in the global market, they may not have an incentive to give away their comparative advantage of low cost of production. Being myopic, they may not adopt the new technologies of production from the west, which are environment saving but expensive. Their payoffs are not just dependent on their action (here, for instance, how much to pollute) but also on other player’s actions. Therefore, a game theoretic approach seems appropriate for this setting which is the theme of this paper. The paper also questions how much of the burden of environment protection should lie on the developing countries given the First World had exploited the environment when it was there chance of growth.
