Academic research into international climate change litigation has shown that the courts yield significant power in bringing about an awareness of climate impacts as well as firmly entrenching rights and responsibilities for claimants and defendants. In April 2022, the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report noted in some detail how climate litigation is shaping climate governance. This article considers these statements within the framework of how courts have drawn on fundamental constitutional rights even without an exclusive reliance on the right to a healthy environment within the jurisdiction of South African climate litigation. The objective of this study is to investigate this claim by analysing the available legal mechanisms in South Africa and what legal strategies have been used in climate litigation to determine how South African climate litigation has shaped climate governance in comparison to climate litigation from the Netherlands. The core analysis examines firstly what the litigation is seeking to achieve, secondly which legal mechanisms and avenues were relied upon and thirdly, how this resonates between different jurisdictions. The key results will contribute to an understanding of the contribution that South African and Dutch climate litigation lends to global climate governance, the extent to which litigation relies on entrenched fundamental rights; it further tracks how, if at all, transnational climate governance litigation has developed in this respect.
对国际气候变化诉讼的学术研究表明,法院在提高人们对气候影响的认识以及牢固确立原告和被告的权利和责任方面具有重要作用。2022 年 4 月,政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)的第六次评估报告较为详细地指出了气候诉讼如何影响气候治理。本文在法院如何在南非气候诉讼管辖范围内借鉴基本宪法权利(即使不完全依赖健康环境权)的框架内对这些声明进行了探讨。本研究的目的是通过分析南非现有的法律机制以及在气候诉讼中使用了哪些法律策略来研究这一说法,从而确定与荷兰的气候诉讼相比,南非的气候诉讼是如何塑造气候治理的。核心分析首先研究诉讼所要达到的目的,其次研究依赖哪些法律机制和途径,第三研究不同司法管辖区之间如何产生共鸣。主要结果将有助于理解南非和荷兰气候诉讼对全球气候治理的贡献、诉讼对根深蒂固的基本权利的依赖程度;并进一步追踪跨国气候治理诉讼在这方面的发展情况(如果有的话)。

Climate Litigation in Argentina: A Critical and Prospective Analysis 阿根廷的气候诉讼:批判性和前瞻性分析

This article analyses the climate litigation scenario in Argentina. Based on the Sabin Center Database, we conducted an in-depth study of all the proceeding documents of the identified cases. We found that, in Argentina, a significant number of climate cases exists compared to other jurisdictions in the region and in the Global South as a whole. These cases show civil society actors suing public and corporate actors due to the deployment of ‘climate-disruptive’ projects or the failed protection of climate-relevant ecosystems. Plaintiffs use a variety of judicial avenues and grounds from different regulatory levels. That said, the case law study leads us to conclude that climate litigation is still incipient in Argentina. Climate change is a very novel legal issue for Argentinean litigants and courts, with lawsuits only developing actual climate argumentation very recently and with not even one judgment, let alone a landmark decision, addressing climate concerns. That is a notable difference from other jurisdictions in the region. Furthermore, we anticipate that climate litigation will continue to grow in Argentina, given weak political opportunities for climate action and stronger legal opportunities provided by broad judicial avenues, a multiplicity of grounds that can be used in climate arguments, and innovative environmental legal approaches developed by the Supreme Court.
本文分析了阿根廷的气候诉讼情况。在萨宾中心数据库的基础上,我们对已确定案件的所有诉讼文件进行了深入研究。我们发现,与该地区其他司法管辖区和整个全球南部地区相比,阿根廷存在大量气候案件。这些案件显示,由于 "破坏气候 "项目的实施或气候相关生态系统保护的失败,民间社会行为者起诉了公共和企业行为者。原告从不同的监管层面利用各种司法途径和理由。尽管如此,判例法研究使我们得出结论,气候诉讼在阿根廷仍处于起步阶段。对于阿根廷的诉讼当事人和法院来说,气候变化是一个非常新颖的法律问题,诉讼案件只是在最近才开始进行实际的气候论证,甚至还没有一项判决(更不用说具有里程碑意义的判决)涉及气候问题。这是与该地区其他司法管辖区的明显不同之处。此外,我们预计阿根廷的气候诉讼将继续增长,因为采取气候行动的政治机会较少,而广泛的司法途径、可用于气候论证的多种理由以及最高法院开发的创新环境法律方法提供了更多的法律机会。

Using Environmental Litigation to Advance Ecological Restoration under the Convention on Biological Diversity in China 利用环境诉讼促进中国《生物多样性公约》下的生态恢复
IF 0.8 Q4 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2023-06-21 DOI: 10.1163/24686042-12340099

In response to unprecedented global biodiversity loss, the obligation of restoration has been integrated into the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD, or Convention). As a Party to the CBD, China has implemented restoration commitments through the ‘National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (2011–2030)’. This article focuses on how such commitments have been translated into the Chinese legal framework and environmental litigation, and how environmental litigation can advance ecological restoration. There exist restoration obligations of governments and individuals. When they fail to fulfil their restoration obligations or cause damage to ecosystems, their wrong actions or inactions can be corrected through restoration orders imposed by Chinese courts, namely primary restoration orders and alternative restoration orders. Also, some weaknesses exist due to relying on forcing defendants to pay to restore damaged ecosystems, including that alternative restoration funds could be misappropriated, and the current legal mechanisms could incentivize a ‘license to trash’ style culture.
为了应对前所未有的全球生物多样性丧失,恢复生物多样性的义务已被纳入《生物多样性公约》(CBD)。作为《生物多样性公约》缔约方,中国通过《国家生物多样性战略与行动计划(2011-2030年)》落实了恢复承诺。本文关注的是这些承诺如何转化为中国的法律框架和环境诉讼,以及环境诉讼如何促进生态恢复。政府和个人都有恢复的义务。当其不履行修复义务或造成生态系统破坏时,可以通过中国法院的恢复令,即初级恢复令和备选恢复令,对其错误行为或不作为进行纠正。此外,由于依赖于强迫被告支付费用来恢复被破坏的生态系统,存在一些弱点,包括替代恢复资金可能被挪用,以及当前的法律机制可能鼓励“许可垃圾”式的文化。

Lifting the Tide on Biodiversity Conservation through Trade and Investment: Biodiversity Conservation under ChAFTA and the WTO 通过贸易和投资掀起生物多样性保护的浪潮——中国自由贸易区和世贸组织下的生物多样性养护
IF 0.8 Q4 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2023-06-21 DOI: 10.1163/24686042-12340096

Trade has an important and lasting impact on biodiversity conservation. This is especially true for two of the most unique mega-diverse ecosystems in the world: Australia and China. Not only does trade perpetuate unsustainable economic practices that exacerbate biodiversity loss, but it also has a direct influence on the ability for both Australia and China to implement effective policies aimed at biodiversity conservation. This article will explore the nexus between biodiversity conservation and international trade through the lens of the Australia – China trade relationship. To explore this issue, this article will first discuss the ideological foundations of the WTO, viz, a rules-based system aimed at promoting trade liberalisation. Whilst the WTO does not specifically regulate biodiversity, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) does contain several provisions as general exceptions which enable Members to reconcile competing priorities of trade liberalisation on one hand, and sustainable development on the other. This article will then explore the trade and biodiversity nexus present within the China and Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA). Whilst ChAFTA contains several innovations which can improve biodiversity conservation, the Agreement also contains provisions which inhibit transparency and the ability for environmental non-government organisations to submit amicus curiae briefs in ISDS arbitration. Through a comparative analysis of other bilateral trade treaties, this article advocates for an approach which addresses these issues, including addressing systemic concerns regarding global biodiversity conservation.
贸易对生物多样性保护具有重要而持久的影响。对于世界上两个最独特的巨型多样性生态系统来说尤其如此:澳大利亚和中国。贸易不仅使不可持续的经济做法长期存在,加剧了生物多样性的丧失,而且对澳大利亚和中国实施有效的生物多样性保护政策的能力也产生了直接影响。本文将从澳中贸易关系的角度探讨生物多样性保护与国际贸易之间的关系。为了探讨这个问题,本文将首先讨论WTO的意识形态基础,即旨在促进贸易自由化的基于规则的体系。虽然世贸组织没有具体规定生物多样性,但《关税及贸易总协定》(GATT)确实包含了一些作为一般例外的条款,使成员国能够协调贸易自由化和可持续发展的相互竞争的优先事项。然后,本文将探讨中澳自由贸易协定(ChAFTA)中存在的贸易和生物多样性关系。虽然ChAFTA包含了一些可以改善生物多样性保护的创新,但该协议也包含了一些条款,这些条款阻碍了环境非政府组织在ISDS仲裁中提交法庭之友简报的透明度和能力。通过对其他双边贸易条约的比较分析,本文主张采取一种解决这些问题的方法,包括解决全球生物多样性保护方面的系统性关切。

Implementing Biodiversity Offsetting in Alignment with the Mitigation Hierarchy – the Experience of Land Use Planning Law in New South Wales 根据缓解等级实施生物多样性补偿——新南威尔士州土地利用规划法的经验
IF 0.8 Q4 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2023-06-21 DOI: 10.1163/24686042-12340100

Biodiversity offsetting is firmly established as an integral part of environmental law regimes across the world. Whether offsets are appropriate for a particular development is determined through the application of a mitigation hierarchy. Whilst a rich vein of scholarship exists dealing with the operation of the mitigation hierarchy in principle, the implementation of the mitigation hierarchy has received comparatively small coverage. From a legal perspective this prompts questions relating to the implementation of the mitigation hierarchy as part of the planning law process. This article critically examines the issue in the context of laws regulating biodiversity loss in the state of New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The article contributes to filling this gap through a critical analysis and evaluation of the statutory regime and specific examples of relevant case law in NSW where development applications have been rejected on the basis, broadly speaking, of failing to demonstrate adherence to the requirements of the mitigation hierarchy. The primary findings presented by the article maintain that the extent to which decision-makers can influence and enhance biodiversity protection through implementation of the mitigation hierarchy is inherently limited due to the underlying rationale and values of planning law. While the decisions carry value in terms of showing what might be reasonably expected from developers in terms of demonstrating how their development applications adhere to the mitigation hierarchy, change that has broader application and can be applied in a more objective manner must be provided through legislative or regulatory change. The experience of NSW can offer some lessons for the implementation of biodiversity offsets in different jurisdictions considering the recent 15th Conference of the Parties (COP) on the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).
生物多样性补偿已被牢固确立为世界各地环境法律制度的一个组成部分。补偿是否适用于特定开发是通过应用缓解层次结构来确定的。虽然原则上存在着丰富的关于缓解层级运作的学术脉络,但缓解层级的实施所涉及的范围相对较小。从法律角度来看,这引发了与作为规划法律程序一部分的缓解等级实施有关的问题。本文在澳大利亚新南威尔士州管理生物多样性丧失的法律背景下批判性地研究了这一问题。本文通过对新南威尔士州的法定制度和相关判例法的具体例子进行批判性分析和评估,填补了这一空白。从广义上讲,新南威尔士州因未能证明遵守缓解等级要求而拒绝了开发申请。文章提出的主要结论认为,由于规划法的基本原理和价值观,决策者通过实施缓解等级制度来影响和加强生物多样性保护的程度本身就很有限。虽然这些决策具有价值,可以表明开发商在证明其开发应用程序如何遵守缓解层次结构方面的合理预期,但必须通过立法或监管变革来提供应用范围更广、能够以更客观的方式应用的变革。考虑到最近举行的《生物多样性公约》第十五届缔约方大会和《昆明-蒙特利尔全球生物多样性框架》,新南威尔士州的经验可以为不同司法管辖区实施生物多样性补偿提供一些经验教训。

China’s Role of Bioprospecting in Antarctica and Future Prospects 中国在南极生物勘探中的作用及未来展望
IF 0.8 Q4 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2023-06-21 DOI: 10.1163/24686042-12340098

The rapid advancement of biotechnology in the late 20th century promoted bioprospecting in Antarctica and has been a regular topic of discussion in the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) since 2002. However, there still needs to be an explicit regulatory framework in the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS). Meanwhile, the Convention on Biological Diversity and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) posed competitive governance mandates on regulating bioprospecting in the Antarctic Treaty Area and challenging the legitimacy of ATS. China’s increasing Antarctic presence is also reflected in its bioprospecting activities. However, its enthusiasm for bioprospecting remains inconsistent with its approach towards the ATS through reluctant contribution on regulation. This article will analyze the discussions on bioprospecting in the ATCM as contained within the ACTM meeting documents. Then, this article will analyze how China should actively pursue legitimate bioprospecting interests in the Antarctic from three aspects, which include improving domestic laws and regulations on access to genetic resources and benefit-sharing activities, speedy enactment of Antarctic legislation, and leading the establishment of regulations on Antarctic bioprospecting in the ATCM. It concludes with an outlook on bioprospecting regulation and China’s role in future prospects.
20世纪后期生物技术的快速发展促进了南极洲的生物勘探,自2002年以来一直是南极条约协商会议(ATCM)的定期讨论主题。然而,在南极条约系统(ATS)中仍然需要有一个明确的管理框架。与此同时,《生物多样性公约》和《联合国海洋法公约》(UNCLOS)对南极条约区生物勘探的监管提出了竞争性的治理任务,并对ATS的合法性提出了挑战。中国不断增加的南极存在也反映在其生物勘探活动上。然而,它对生物勘探的热情与它对ATS的态度仍然不一致,因为它不愿在监管方面做出贡献。本文将对会议文件中关于生物勘探的讨论进行分析。然后,本文将从完善国内遗传资源获取和惠益分享活动的法律法规、加快南极立法的制定、主导建立ATCM南极生物勘探法规等三个方面分析中国应如何积极追求南极生物勘探的合法利益。最后,展望了生物勘探监管和中国在未来前景中的作用。

The negotiations for a new international legally binding instrument to conserve and sustainably utilise marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ) have been the subject of much analysis and commentary since their commencement. Yet there is still relatively little consideration of what can be learnt about state behaviour from the BBNJ negotiations. This article engages in an analysis of Australia’s behaviour as a case study of the often-overlooked category of middle power states. Hence, this article is envisioned as an exploratory study into middle powers in international environmental negotiations, with the goal of prompting further exploration of both the BBNJ negotiations specifically, as well as the role of different kinds of states in the creation of international environmental law. The overarching question being asked here is “How has Australia’s middle power identity informed its behaviour at the BBNJ negotiations?”
关于保护和可持续利用国家管辖范围以外海洋生物多样性的新的具有法律约束力的国际文书(BBNJ)的谈判自开始以来一直是许多分析和评论的主题。然而,对于从BBNJ谈判中可以学到的国家行为,人们仍然相对较少考虑。本文对澳大利亚的行为进行了分析,将其作为一个经常被忽视的中等强国类别的案例研究。因此,本文的设想是对国际环境谈判中的中等大国进行探索性研究,目的是进一步探讨BBNJ谈判的具体内容,以及不同类型的国家在国际环境法创建中的作用。这里提出的首要问题是“澳大利亚的中等大国身份是如何影响其在BBNJ谈判中的行为的?”
