Abstract
"God is dead. WTO replaced him" . It's what we could read on the notice of a demonstrator in front of the WTO's headquarters on the occasion of the celebration of the fiftieth birthday of the GATT in May 1998 in Geneva.
Since the beginning of 2000s, the environment is in the center of the concerns. Indeed, if the globalization, by advocating the free exchange, contributes certainly to the increase of the wealth and thus to the welfare of populations in all the regions of the world, it has certain impact on the world natural resources.
