This study examines how China and Japan competed to frame the Fukushima water discharge while constructing domestic and international legitimacy. Using a functional framing model and frame-credibility dimensions, we compare strategies: Japan promoted a “Scientific Safety” frame to build technical legitimacy, bolstered by international authority endorsements; China advanced an “Environmental Justice” frame stressing historical accountability, ecological risk, and regional cultural resonance. The confrontation exposed tensions between technical rationality and lived local experience. Internationally, framing moved from a bilateral contest to a multi-level legitimacy struggle and edged toward a tentative, monitoring-based partial accommodation through emerging oversight mechanisms, while deeper conflicts over risk, justice and responsibility remained unresolved. The results enrich theory on framing, legitimacy, and risk governance, and offer practical guidance for bridging technical and cultural claims in global environmental disputes.

本研究考察了中国和日本在构建国内和国际合法性的同时，如何竞争构建福岛污水排放框架。使用功能框架模型和框架可信度维度，我们比较了策略：日本推广了“科学安全”框架，以建立技术合法性，并得到国际权威机构的支持；中国提出了强调历史责任、生态风险和区域文化共鸣的“环境正义”框架。这种对抗暴露了技术理性与当地经验之间的紧张关系。在国际上，框架从双边竞争转变为多层次的合法性斗争，并通过新兴的监督机制逐步走向试探性的、基于监测的部分妥协，而在风险、正义和责任方面的更深层次的冲突仍未得到解决。研究结果丰富了框架、合法性和风险治理方面的理论，并为在全球环境争端中弥合技术和文化诉求提供了实践指导。

Microplastics released as consumers use products are a significant, yet largely unregulated, source of global pollution. Enhancing corporate earth system accountability for this contamination is essential for protecting planetary health. This Perspective develops this argument and identifies governance strategies through a case study of one consumer product: tires. By mass, the chemical-laden particles emitted as tires wear and tear on roads – which scientists typically classify as microplastics – are among the largest sources of global microplastic pollution. Regulations to govern tire abrasion are emerging in California and the European Union, and, as expert interviews reveal, discussions are occurring to develop global standards. Still, regulatory controls remain fragmented and weak, and pollution is escalating. Urging consumers to take responsibility has not helped. Governments need to set stringent international standards, ensure corporate transparency, mandate strong precautionary approaches, extend producer responsibility, and avoid voluntary corporate self-governance as a primary mechanism of accountability.

消费者在使用产品时释放的微塑料是一个重要的全球污染源，但在很大程度上不受监管。加强企业地球系统对这种污染的问责对于保护地球健康至关重要。本展望进一步阐述了这一观点，并通过对一种消费品（轮胎）的案例研究确定了治理策略。按质量计算，轮胎在道路上磨损时释放出的含有化学物质的颗粒——科学家通常将其归类为微塑料——是全球微塑料污染的最大来源之一。管理轮胎磨损的法规正在加利福尼亚和欧盟出现，正如专家访谈所揭示的那样，正在讨论制定全球标准。尽管如此，监管控制仍然零散而薄弱，污染也在不断升级。敦促消费者承担责任也无济于事。各国政府需要制定严格的国际标准，确保公司透明度，授权采取强有力的预防措施，扩大生产者责任，并避免将自愿的公司自治作为主要的问责机制。

Chemical pollution poses significant environmental and human health problems. Some researchers have put forward the planetary boundary framework as a way to contextualize knowledge about Earth system challenges, including chemicals. In this Perspective, we argue that further application of the planetary boundary framework has limited conceptual and practical value for advancing research and policy-making to address environmental and human health risk from chemicals, and may end up having negative unintended consequences for inclusive and effective governance. We present four sets of issues which challenge the application of the planetary boundary framework to chemicals, connected to conceptual inconsistencies, conflicts with established norms and practices on risk and precaution, a limited ability to help protect the most vulnerable, and a lack of legitimacy in political processes. As an alternative, we discuss three ways in which researchers can help advance knowledge and action on chemicals, working with stakeholders through existing policy efforts and treaties.

化学污染造成严重的环境和人类健康问题。一些研究人员提出了行星边界框架，作为一种将包括化学物质在内的地球系统挑战知识背景化的方法。在这一视角中，我们认为，进一步应用地球边界框架对于推进研究和制定政策以应对化学品造成的环境和人类健康风险的概念和实际价值有限，并可能最终对包容和有效的治理产生意想不到的负面后果。我们提出了四组问题，这些问题挑战了地球边界框架对化学品的应用，这些问题与概念上的不一致、与风险和预防方面的既定规范和实践的冲突、帮助保护最弱势群体的能力有限以及政治进程中缺乏合法性有关。作为替代方案，我们讨论了研究人员可以通过现有政策努力和条约与利益攸关方合作，帮助推进化学品知识和行动的三种方式。

The Global Stocktake (GST) is designed to be at the heart of the Paris Agreement's ratcheting mechanism towards achieving the Paris goals. It has a mandate to be conducted ‘in the light of equity’ despite being a collective assessment which does not currently facilitate structured comparison of Parties' contributions. Based on a three-part normative framework, this study assesses the extent to which the first GST concluded in 2023 was successfully conducted ‘in the light of equity’ and what can be learned for its future iterations. By triangulating data from participant observation, a survey, and document analysis it finds that despite significant procedural innovations, the GST does not appear to have integrated equity in a substantial manner across all dimensions. Several possible recommendations emerge, including clarifying the mandate to include individual assessment, and making procedural shifts to increase the chances that these assessments make more significant contributions to equity over time.

全球盘点（GST）旨在成为《巴黎协定》实现巴黎目标的棘轮机制的核心。尽管它是一种集体评估，目前还不能对缔约方的贡献进行结构性比较，但它的任务是“在公平的基础上”进行。基于一个由三部分组成的规范框架，本研究评估了2023年完成的第一个GST在“公平的角度”成功实施的程度，以及可以为未来的迭代学习到什么。通过对参与者观察、调查和文件分析的数据进行三角测量，我们发现，尽管有重大的程序创新，但商品及服务税似乎并没有在所有方面以实质性的方式整合公平。出现了几项可能的建议，包括澄清包括个别评估在内的任务，并改变程序以增加这些评估随着时间的推移对公平作出更大贡献的机会。

Voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) are market-based mechanisms promoting sustainability in agri-food value chains. VSS can create challenges related to compliance, market access and acceptance for producers in emerging countries. To address this challenge, some emerging countries have established national sustainability standards (NSS). This paper compares VSS (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil and Rainforest Alliance) and NSS (Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil and Lestari Tea Certification) in Indonesia's palm oil and tea sectors on three dimensions: substantive requirements, enforcement procedures, and drivers for adoption. The analysis shows that substantively, while VSS have stricter requirements than NSS, the latter increasingly converge toward VSS. Procedurally, both systems mainly rely on audits for compliance. In term of adoption, VSS are mainly adopted to access export markets, while NSS adoption is driven primarily by regulatory compliance. The implications of the findings are discussed with a specific focus on the potential complementarity between VSS and NSS.

自愿可持续性标准（VSS）是促进农业食品价值链可持续性的市场机制。VSS可能会给新兴国家的生产商带来合规、市场准入和接受度方面的挑战。为了应对这一挑战，一些新兴国家建立了国家可持续性标准（NSS）。本文从三个方面比较了印尼棕榈油和茶叶行业的VSS（可持续棕榈油和雨林联盟圆桌会议）和NSS（印度尼西亚可持续棕榈油和莱斯塔里茶认证）：实质性要求、执行程序和采用的驱动因素。分析表明，实质上，VSS比NSS有更严格的要求，但后者越来越向VSS靠拢。在程序上，这两个系统主要依赖于审计的遵从性。在采用方面，VSS主要用于进入出口市场，而NSS的采用主要是由法规遵从性驱动的。研究结果的含义进行了讨论，并特别关注VSS和NSS之间潜在的互补性。

Multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs), a key element of global environmental governance, and their associated agreement-making processes have been widely studied, in particular the formal negotiations between national delegates. In contrast, informal interactions—particularly side events— have received much less attention, despite their growing number and increased attendance by a variety of non-state actors. To better understand the nature and functions of these side events, we conducted a systematic literature review, analysing a final selection of 31 articles coded inductively using Atlas.ti 24. Side events differ from other informal interactions by being organised, and the literature points to 26 functions they fulfil. These functions can be associated with their setting, processes, outcomes, and impacts, and may build upon each other at multilateral environmental negotiations and beyond. As most reviewed publications dealt with UNFCCC COPs, further empirical research to broaden our understanding should best focus on side events at other MEAs.

多边环境协定（多边环境协定）是全球环境治理的一个关键因素，人们对其相关的协定制定过程，特别是国家代表之间的正式谈判，进行了广泛的研究。相比之下，非正式的互动——尤其是会外活动——受到的关注要少得多，尽管它们的数量越来越多，各种非国家行为体的出席人数也越来越多。为了更好地了解这些副反应的性质和功能，我们进行了系统的文献综述，分析了最后选择的31篇用Atlas进行归纳编码的文章。ti 24。会外活动与其他非正式互动的不同之处在于它是有组织的，文献指出了它们履行的26个功能。这些功能可以与其环境、过程、结果和影响相关联，并可以在多边环境谈判中及以后相互建立。由于大多数已审查的出版物都涉及《联合国气候变化框架公约》缔约方会议，为扩大我们的理解，进一步的实证研究最好集中在其他多边环境协定的会外活动上。

Despite numerous initiatives, methodologies and approaches, municipalities and regions continue to face challenges in sustaining long-term efforts toward sustainability. While continuously learning from mistakes and success factors, comprehensive recommendations for how to take a long-term approach for the work, specifically developed for leadership in local and regional contexts, are largely lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify a comprehensive set of essential factors that could support long-term sustainability efforts. The study is mainly related to the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development, but the findings are likely relevant also in relation to other comprehensive sustainability methodologies and approaches. Re-analysis of longitudinal data from action research in Sweden and Finland is supplemented by new qualitative data collection, the study identifies eight conditions for continuity. Being introduced to these conditions upfront may save valuable time and could be utilized as a checklist to be revisited regularly and to strive toward.

尽管有许多倡议、方法和方法，市政当局和地区在为可持续发展作出长期努力方面继续面临挑战。虽然不断从错误和成功因素中学习，但基本上缺乏关于如何采取长期工作方法的全面建议，特别是为地方和区域情况下的领导制定的建议。因此，本研究的目的是确定一套全面的基本因素，可以支持长期可持续发展的努力。这项研究主要与战略可持续发展框架有关，但研究结果也可能与其他全面的可持续发展方法和办法有关。对瑞典和芬兰行动研究的纵向数据进行重新分析，并辅以新的定性数据收集，该研究确定了连续性的八个条件。提前了解这些情况可以节省宝贵的时间，并可以作为定期重新审视和努力的清单。

Horizontal venue-shopping and non-governmental organizations’ influence on regional fisheries management organizations 横向场地购物与非政府组织对区域渔业管理组织的影响

The influence of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on international organizations is a perennial question in global governance research. We examine whether and why horizontal venue-shopping strengthens NGO influence on international organizations in the area of biodiversity protection. We argue that horizontal venue-shopping facilitates NGO influence, building on previous studies on institutional complexity and NGO influence in global governance. The argument is examined through process tracing based on extensive fieldwork material in the context of the governance of sharks in the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas during 1994–2021. We find NGO preference attainment in a majority of the studied policy processes, and indicative evidence of increased NGO influence over time. The results suggest that horizontal venue-shopping strengthened the influence of NGOs in several of the examined processes. These findings have broader implications for research on NGO influence in an increasingly complex global governance landscape.

非政府组织对国际组织的影响是全球治理研究中一个长期存在的问题。我们研究了横向场地购物是否以及为什么会增强非政府组织对生物多样性保护领域的国际组织的影响。基于之前关于制度复杂性和非政府组织在全球治理中的影响力的研究，我们认为横向场地购物促进了非政府组织的影响力。在1994-2021年国际大西洋金枪鱼保护委员会对鲨鱼治理的背景下，通过基于广泛实地调查材料的过程追踪，对这一论点进行了审查。我们发现非政府组织的偏好在大多数研究的政策过程中获得，并且表明非政府组织的影响力随着时间的推移而增加。结果表明，横向场地购物在几个被考察的过程中增强了非政府组织的影响力。这些发现对研究非政府组织在日益复杂的全球治理格局中的影响具有更广泛的意义。

Special drawing rights and ecological vulnerability: Monetary hierarchy and the translation of values 特别提款权与生态脆弱性：货币等级制度与价值转换

Earth System Governance

Pub Date : 2025-12-05 DOI: 10.1016/j.esg.2025.100304

Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) have regained prominence as international institutions search for ways to respond to recurring financial crises, rising inequalities, and accelerating climate change. As the only international reserve asset not tied to a national currency, SDRs have been debated as potential instruments for redistributive and ecological purposes, particularly since the unprecedented 650 billion USD allocation of 2021. Yet the terms of these debates reveal the persistent dominance of macro-financial logics over alternative framings. This article develops an analysis of how institutional discourses on SDR reform reflect and reproduce the tension between international monetary hierarchy and ecological vulnerability. It shows that ecological concerns are not absent from official debates but systematically translated into the language of liquidity, debt sustainability, and creditworthiness. Such translation renders ecological values legible while erasing their normative specificity, thereby constraining their transformative potential. By linking international political economy with social ecological economics, the article foregrounds the processes of inclusion, translation, and marginalisation through which plural values are managed in global monetary governance. SDRs thus serve less as instruments of ecological transition than as a diagnostic site for understanding the limits of integrating ecological criteria into a system still structured by financial stability and monetary hierarchy.

随着国际机构寻求应对反复出现的金融危机、日益加剧的不平等和加速的气候变化的方法，特别提款权（sdr）重新获得了重视。作为唯一不与本国货币挂钩的国际储备资产，特别提款权一直被视为再分配和生态目的的潜在工具，尤其是自2021年史无前例的6500亿美元分配以来。然而，这些辩论的术语揭示了宏观金融逻辑对替代框架的持续主导地位。本文分析了关于特别提款权改革的制度话语如何反映和再现国际货币等级制度与生态脆弱性之间的紧张关系。它表明，生态问题并非缺席官方辩论，而是系统地转化为流动性、债务可持续性和信誉的语言。这样的翻译使生态价值变得清晰可辨，却抹去了它们的规范性特殊性，从而限制了它们的变革潜力。通过将国际政治经济学与社会生态经济学联系起来，文章展望了全球货币治理中多元价值管理的包容、翻译和边缘化过程。因此，特别提款权与其说是作为生态转型的工具，不如说是作为一个诊断站点，用于理解将生态标准整合到仍然由金融稳定和货币等级构成的体系中的局限性。

Conceptualizing transformative change for global environmental governance 概念化全球环境治理的变革

The notion of transformative change has attracted increasing attention from research and policy communities as societies struggle with the nature and adequacy of responses to the intertwined crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and social justice. Yet while many agree that transformative change is needed, it remains an essentially contested concept. We review how the notion of transformative change has come to be understood in global environmental governance, finding that the focus has been on speed and scope of change with less explicit attention being paid to what is actually being transformed, how and for whom. As a result, certain kinds of change – those which are fast and systemic in scope – are privileged. We argue that this is to miss the very potential of transformative change and offer an approach that holds space for a plural understanding of transformation that allows for different matters of justice to be considered.

随着社会努力应对气候变化、生物多样性丧失和社会正义等交织在一起的危机，变革性变化的概念越来越受到研究和政策团体的关注。然而，尽管许多人同意需要变革，但这仍然是一个本质上有争议的概念。我们回顾了在全球环境治理中如何理解变革性变革的概念，发现重点一直放在变化的速度和范围上，而对实际正在转变的内容、方式和为谁而转变的关注较少。因此，某些类型的变化——那些快速和系统性的变化——享有特权。我们认为，这是错过了变革性变革的潜力，并提供了一种方法，为对变革的多元理解提供了空间，允许考虑不同的正义问题。
