World Summit and Sustainable Development (WSSD) agreed to link international trade with the environment from two aspects to realize sustainable development, namely, mutual support between trade, environment and development; and mutually beneficial between the multilateral trading system and multilateral environmental agreements. In the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) that has been running since 2010, research was mostly focused on trade aspect. This study aims to evaluate CO 2 emission from the marine transportation of trade, before and during ACFTA. The data was taken from the UNCTADSTAT, WITS, CEPII. By using the IATA standard of CO 2 emissions i.e. 985.97g/ton-km from air transport, and 9.53g/ton-km of sea transport, the results showed that there was an increase 1.6 time in CO 2 emissions from ASEAN-China trade transportation from period 2001-2009 (before ACFTA 2009) to period 2010-2018 during ACFTA.
