Summary/Abstract: The sustainable dimension of international trade regulations reflects the transformation of global trade from an instrument of economic liberalization into a means of promoting sustainable development. Modern trade agreements include standards on environmental protection, labor rights and social equity, in line with the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda. The European Union is a relevant example by integrating sustainability principles into its trade agreements (CETA, JEFTA, DCFTA), demonstrating that economic development can be compatible with environmental protection. However, there are tensions between liberalization and environmental objectives, especially for developing countries, which sometimes perceive high standards as trade barriers. For the Republic of Moldova, the Association Agreement and DCFTA constitute an essential framework for integrating the sustainable dimension into trade policy, through the harmonization of legislation and the promotion of the green economy. Thus, sustainable development has become a structural component of international trade regulations, ensuring that economic globalization serves not only economic growth, but also environmental protection and social equity.
