Foreign trade and environmental impact

Abstract

The following work is focused on determining, through a bibliographic review, the close relationship that exists between activities related to foreign trade and the deterioration suffered by the natural environment. It is important to determine that through international trade, nations have carried out commercial transactions of their products in order to raise the quality of life of their citizens through the promotion and execution of manufacturing activities in the industries of each country, to later be exported to other regions through international trade, which allows the exchange of goods and services between regions or countries. The use of new technologies has greatly impacted commercial operations worldwide and has given a new boom and relaunch to trade, but industries still have a great debt to the environment by not complying with international and local regulations that cause the least possible damage to nature.
