Multilateral trade rules are designed to eliminate practices that distort trade and harm the environment. For example, subsidies to the fishing sector can encourage unsustainable fishing practices, agricultural subsidies can support environmentally harmful agricultural production, and tariffs on environmental goods and services can restrict the diffusion of clean technologies. . There is also the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis, which shows a relationship between environmental degradation and income levels. This shows that in the early stages of economic growth, environmental degradation tends to worsen, but as per capita income increases and reaches a certain point, environmental damage decreases. This suggests that opposing it slows possible environmental improvement in poor countries. According to Hassoun, poverty and the environment are linked in such a way that the poor do not have access to electricity or gas and therefore have to burn a lot of wood and coal for cooking. Coal burning contributes about two-fifths of global carbon emissions. By reducing poverty, these measures can help alleviate environmental problems. In some countries, the World Trade Organization (WTO) can implement more policies that can be used to improve the situation of the poor while also helping the
