近年來，綠色消費在許多發(fā)達國家中已成為一個主要的消費趨勢，這些發(fā)達國家開始采取嚴格的措施來限制一些國家的產(chǎn)品進入其國內(nèi)市場。這些國家主要是其產(chǎn)品低于發(fā)達國家制定的環(huán)境保護標準。這些規(guī)定對發(fā)展中國家的出口有許多不利的影響，這些規(guī)定一般被稱為“綠色貿(mào)易壁壘” 。綠色貿(mào)易壁壘的有關規(guī)定與世界貿(mào)易組織的有關協(xié)議相一致。綠色貿(mào)易壁壘的定義是：以保護整個人類賴以生存的自然環(huán)境和保護人體健康為的名義，制定一系列的規(guī)則條款，以達到發(fā)達國家保護其國內(nèi)市場和國內(nèi)產(chǎn)品的目的。
