Abstract
ABSTRACT Article 6.8 was included in the Paris Agreement in the last minutes of COP15 after years of advocacy for non-market approaches (NMAs), predominately from Bolivia. Between 2015 - 2021, however, the development of NMAs remained largely stagnant and was hindered by ideological and financial disagreements during negotiations. Despite challenges, the operationalisation of NMAs under Article 6.8 has recently started to take shape. Driving this are the development and maturing of relevant pilot projects, such as the Adaptation Benefits Mechanism (ABM) and the Local Climate Adaptive Living Facility (LoCAL), as well as the finalisation of the Paris Agreement Rulebook at COP26. Accordingly, this paper uses a transnational framing to explore these developments and the potential impacts of NMAs under Article 6.8, with particular attention towards financial and ideological considerations.
期刊介绍:
The objective of Transnational Legal Theory is to publish high-quality theoretical scholarship that addresses transnational dimensions of law and legal dimensions of transnational fields and activity. Central to Transnational Legal Theory''s mandate is publication of work that explores whether and how transnational contexts, forces and ideations affect debates within existing traditions or schools of legal thought. Similarly, the journal aspires to encourage scholars debating general theories about law to consider the relevance of transnational contexts and dimensions for their work. With respect to particular jurisprudence, the journal welcomes not only submissions that involve theoretical explorations of fields commonly constructed as transnational in nature (such as commercial law, maritime law, or cyberlaw) but also explorations of transnational aspects of fields less commonly understood in this way (for example, criminal law, family law, company law, tort law, evidence law, and so on). Submissions of work exploring process-oriented approaches to law as transnational (from transjurisdictional litigation to delocalized arbitration to multi-level governance) are also encouraged. Equally central to Transnational Legal Theory''s mandate is theoretical work that explores fresh (or revived) understandings of international law and comparative law ''beyond the state'' (and the interstate). The journal has a special interest in submissions that explore the interfaces, intersections, and mutual embeddedness of public international law, private international law, and comparative law, notably in terms of whether such inter-relationships are reshaping these sub-disciplines in directions that are, in important respects, transnational in nature.
