The development of the environmental services trade is crucial to achieving climate goals and a green economic transition. Based on environmental services trade data from 2001 to 2019, this work uses the social network analysis (SNA) method to depict the structural features of global environmental services trade networks, empirically testing the influencing mechanism of network evolution based on the quadratic assignment procedure (QAP) model. The results indicate that the global environmental services trade is now in a rebound stable period.
