The transition to a green economy, emphasizing environmental sustainability alongside economic growth, necessitates the exploration of innovative tools and approaches. Digital trade, with its capacity to optimize resource allocation, enhance transparency, and foster new business models, emerges as a significant catalyst in this transformation. This paper examines the multifaceted role of digital trade in promoting green economic development. It analyzes how digital platforms and technologies facilitate more efficient supply chains, reduce waste, and enable the trade of environmentally friendly goods and services. Furthermore, the study explores the potential of digital solutions in enhancing environmental monitoring, promoting sustainable consumption patterns, and supporting the growth of circular economy initiatives. The analysis draws upon recent research and real-world examples to illustrate the tangible impacts of digital trade on ecological sustainability and economic efficiency. Key findings highlight the importance of supportive regulatory frameworks and technological infrastructure in harnessing the full potential of digital trade for greening the economy. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for further research and policy interventions to maximize the synergistic relationship between digital commerce and environmental stewardship, paving the way for a more sustainable and resilient economic future.
