International Convention on Environment)은 환경을 보호하기 위해 체결되는 양자간 다자간 국제협약이다. 주로 지구적 차원의 환경을 보전하기 위한 국가별 의무 또는 노력을 규정하고 있다. 환경문제는 이제 지역이나 국가의 문제가 아니라, 지구 전체의 문제가 되고 있다. 오존층의 파괴, 온실효과로 나타나는 기후 변화, 생물종의 감소 등은 대표적인 지구 환경문제이다. 이에 따라 국제환경분쟁이 많이 발생했으며, 이를 해결하고자 많은 국제환경협약이 맺어지고 있다. 우루과이라운드 이후 그린라운드가 새로운 무역 규제 장벽으로 등장하면서, 국제환경협약에 관한 관심이 계속 높아지고 있다. 1933년부터 현재까지 지구 대기의 보전, 유해 물질 규제, 동·식물보호, 해양 환경 보전, 수질 보전, 자연 보전 등에 관해 이미 체결되었거나 추진 중에 있는 국제환경협약은 모두 170여개에 이른다. == 알파벳 목록 == 오르후스 협약 (:en:Aarhus Convention), (Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters), Aarhus, 1998 알프스 협정 (:en:Alpine Convention) (알프스 산지 보호에 관한 협정) (:en:ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution) 남극해양생물자원 보존조약 (Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources), Canberra, 1980. 대탄도 미사일 조약 (Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty)(ABM Treaty) (ABMT) 기후변화 대응을 위한 아시아 태평양 Partnership on Clean Development and Climate) 바르셀로나 협약 (Barcelona Convention) 바젤협약 (Basel Convention), Basel, 1989. 생물무기금지협약 (Biological Weapons 협약 (Bonn Convention) 카르파티아산맥 협약 (Framework Convention on the Protection and Sustainable Development of the Carpathians) 카르타헤나 의정서 (Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety) 화학 무기 금지 조약 (Chemical Weapons Convention) 중국-호주 철새 조약 Migratory Bird Agreement) 멸종위기에 처한 야생동식물종의 국제거래에 관한 협약 (CITES, Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna) 기후 변화에 관한 국제 연합 기본 협약 (Climate Change Agreement) 포괄적 핵실험 금지 조약 (Comprehensive Treaty)(CTBT) 남극의 바다표범보호에 관한 협약 (Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Seals) 아비장 협약 (Convention for Co-operation in the Protection and Development of the Marine and Coastal Environment of the West and Central African Region), Abidjan, 1981. 지중해 보호를 위한 바르셀로나 협약 (Convention for the Protection and Development of the Marine Environment and Coastal Region of the Mediterranean Sea), Barcelona, 1976.
