Climate change has caused significant hardship in sub‐Saharan Africa. As a result, Kenya and Nigeria now have statutes that focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation. Both countries are also parties to the Paris Agreement. The Kenyan Climate Change Act (2016) and the Nigerian Climate Change Act (2021) are similar in terms of their design and overarching aims. Meanwhile, certain pivotal statutory provisions in both statutes are inconsistent with their overarching aims of enhancing appropriate responses to climate change. There is considerable scope for access to justice to be enhanced in the Kenyan and Nigerian statutes. Further, despite their similarities, the divergent approaches of the statutes undermine regional coherence. Such coherence is critical to effectively addressing climate change because both regional powers face similar vulnerabilities with respect to climate change and socio‐economic challenges. This article, therefore, undertakes a comparative analysis of the Kenyan and Nigerian legal regimes in two key respects, namely, (1) institutional structures and how they impact corruption and (2) accessing justice in the context of climate litigation. The Nigerian regime is behind that of Kenya in both regards. The article concludes by examining how the Aarhus Convention and the International Access to Justice Convention can help to fill any statutory gaps concerning access to justice.
气候变化给撒哈拉以南非洲造成了巨大困难。因此,肯尼亚和尼日利亚现在制定了以减缓和适应气候变化为重点的法规。这两个国家也是《巴黎协定》的缔约国。肯尼亚《气候变化法》(2016 年)和尼日利亚《气候变化法》(2021 年)在设计和总体目标方面相似。同时,这两部法律中的某些关键性条款与加强气候变化适当应对措施的总体目标不一致。在肯尼亚和尼日利亚的法规中,司法救助还有很大的提升空间。此外,尽管这两项法规有相似之处,但其不同的方法破坏了地区一致性。这种一致性对于有效应对气候变化至关重要,因为这两个地区大国在气候变化和社会经济挑战方面面临着相似的脆弱性。因此,本文从两个关键方面对肯尼亚和尼日利亚的法律制度进行了比较分析,即:(1)制度结构及其对腐败的影响;(2)气候诉讼背景下的司法救助。尼日利亚的制度在这两方面都落后于肯尼亚。文章最后探讨了《奥胡斯公约》和《国际诉诸司法公约》如何帮助填补诉诸司法方面的法律空白。

Behavioural instruments in environmental law and policy: Potential and challenges 环境法律和政策中的行为工具:潜力与挑战

The behavioural revolution in law and economics led to the insight that command‐and‐control and market‐based instruments have limitations in bringing about behavioural change. Environmental behavioural instruments use persuasive strategies or techniques rather than direct incentives to encourage environmentally responsible decision‐making. This article investigates the potential and challenges of behavioural instruments in environmental policy based on a survey of theories and examples concerning environmental behavioural instruments. Behavioural instruments can reduce the information costs of environmental regulation while increasing self‐efficacy for environmental compliance. More importantly, behavioural instruments can be cheap and effective by activating various norms in specific contexts. However, the behavioural approach, because of its focus on individual compliance, may not be well suited to address (transboundary) externalities. Behavioural instruments are especially important in generating positive externalities by appealing to social norms. Such mechanisms are, however, less suited to internalising negative externalities. The effects of behavioural instruments may not be easily guaranteed (in the long run), especially when the environmental goal of the behavioural approach clashes with private interests or fails to consider individual differences and contextual factors. We therefore argue that behavioural instruments should be included alongside standard regulatory tools, thus reaching an optimal mix between both.
法律和经济学中的行为革命使人们认识到,命令和控制以及基于市场的手段在促成行为改变方面具有局限性。环境行为工具使用说服策略或技术,而不是直接的激励措施来鼓励对环境负责任的决策。本文在对有关环境行为工具的理论和实例进行调查的基础上,探讨了环境政策中行为工具的潜力和挑战。行为工具可以降低环境监管的信息成本,同时提高遵守环境法规的自我效能。更重要的是,行为工具可以在特定环境下激活各种规范,从而实现低成本和高效率。然而,行为方法由于侧重于个人遵守,可能不太适合解决(跨界)外部性问题。行为手段在通过社会规范产生积极的外部效应方面尤为重要。然而,这种机制不太适合将负外部性内部化。行为手段的效果可能不易保证(从长远来看),特别是当行为方法的环境目标与私人利益发生冲突或未能考虑个体差异和环境因素时。因此,我们认为,在采用标准监管工具的同时,还应采用行为监管工具,从而实现两者的最佳结合。

Smallholder farms in the sustainable food transition: A critical examination of the new Common Agricultural Policy 可持续粮食转型中的小农农场:对新的共同农业政策的批判性研究

Almost two thirds of working farms in the European Union are considered smallholder farms. These farms play a crucial role in local food production, rural development, maintaining agrobiodiversity, and promoting cultural heritage. Despite this, agricultural policies have consistently supported on‐farm intensification, specialisation, enlargement, and mechanisation of agricultural production. These policies have been in turn commonly justified through food security and agricultural efficiency arguments. Considering the European Union's Farm to Fork Strategy and the Green Deal's aims of transitioning towards sustainable food systems, this article presents a novel empirical analysis of the legal position of small farmers in the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of 2023. This analysis outlines the critical but complex position of smallholder farmers in the National Strategic Plans of 10 Member States. The reformed CAP increasingly acknowledges the important role of smallholder farmers in moving towards sustainable food systems. However, in this article, we question the CAP's sufficiency for improving the legal position of smallholders, promoting (economic) viability and harnessing the sustainability potential of smallholder farms.
欧盟近三分之二的工作农场被视为小农农场。这些农场在当地粮食生产、农村发展、维护农业生物多样性和促进文化遗产方面发挥着至关重要的作用。尽管如此,农业政策一直支持农场集约化、专业化、规模化和农业生产机械化。这些政策通常又以粮食安全和农业效率为理由。考虑到欧盟的 "从农场到餐桌 "战略和 "绿色协议 "旨在向可持续粮食系统过渡,本文对 2023 年新的共同农业政策(CAP)中小农的法律地位进行了新颖的实证分析。该分析概述了小农在 10 个成员国的国家战略计划中所处的关键但复杂的地位。改革后的 CAP 越来越承认小农在迈向可持续粮食体系中的重要作用。然而,在本文中,我们对 CAP 是否足以改善小农的法律地位、促进(经济)可行性和利用小农农场的可持续发展潜力提出了质疑。

The centrality of law for EU sustainable finance markets: Outlining a research agenda 法律对欧盟可持续金融市场的核心作用:概述研究议程

This article discusses how law shapes sustainable finance market creation in the European Union (EU). Although markets for environmental, social and governance (ESG) oriented investments have continued to grow, a gap has persisted between fund popularity and real‐world impact. The EU has sought to address this through common legal standards for sustainable economic activities. However, there has been limited empirical examination of how industry applies these new measures and how they facilitate further market development. The article seeks to address this by proposing a research agenda for the examination of sustainable finance legislation through a ‘law as constitutive’ lens. The approach argues for an empirical inquiry that recognises the political and social conditions of market development, explored through interviews with market participants focusing on their experiences of legislation. The article explains how a ‘law as constitutive’ framing best suits the EU context when exploring the potential and limitations of the current policy approach.
本文讨论了法律如何影响欧盟(EU)可持续金融市场的创建。尽管以环境、社会和治理(ESG)为导向的投资市场持续增长,但基金的受欢迎程度与实际影响之间仍存在差距。欧盟试图通过可持续经济活动的共同法律标准来解决这一问题。然而,对行业如何应用这些新措施以及这些措施如何促进市场进一步发展的实证研究十分有限。本文试图通过提出一个研究议程,从 "法律作为构成 "的角度来审视可持续金融立法,从而解决这一问题。该方法主张进行实证调查,承认市场发展的政治和社会条件,通过对市场参与者进行访谈,重点探讨他们对立法的体验。在探讨现行政策方法的潜力和局限性时,文章解释了 "作为构成要素的法律 "框架如何最适合欧盟的背景。

In two recent South African cases, Indigenous communities successfully challenged proposed fossil fuel exploration activities by the Shell petroleum company off South Africa's pristine West Coast. In contrast to earlier climate litigation cases in South Africa, the litigants relied specifically on their Indigenous rights and knowledge. In this case note, we highlight the ways in which the two courts engaged with the communities' cultural beliefs and practices as well as their knowledge related to sustainability and how this relates to protecting their livelihoods, cultural practices and identities that are threatened by the proposed activities. We highlight the important role played by Indigenous communities in the climate movement and argue that, in the future, Indigenous and related considerations could provide a strong basis for climate litigation in South Africa and potentially contribute to efforts to protect Indigenous communities against the activities of carbon majors.
在南非最近的两起案件中,土著社区成功地挑战了壳牌石油公司在南非原始西海岸提议的化石燃料勘探活动。与南非早先的气候诉讼案件不同的是,这两起案件的诉讼人特别依赖于他们的土著权利和知识。在本案例说明中,我们重点介绍了两家法院参与社区文化信仰和习俗的方式,以及他们与可持续发展相关的知识,以及这与保护他们受到拟议活动威胁的生计、文化习俗和身份认同之间的关系。我们强调了土著社区在气候运动中发挥的重要作用,并认为今后土著及相关因素可为南非的气候诉讼提供坚实的基础,并有可能促进保护土著社区免受碳巨头活动影响的努力。

Interinstitutional interactions occur frequently and have led to important organisational developments. The purpose of this article is twofold. First, it attempts to clarify the legal basis of the interinstitutional duty to cooperate in international water law, by focusing on the river basin organisations (RBOs) of Europe and Southern Africa that coexist in the same transboundary basin. Second, it assesses the approaches used by RBOs in these two regions to operationalise the interinstitutional duty to cooperate. The article concludes that the interinstitutional duty to cooperate is far from complete and that subsequent practices of RBOs play a significant role in enriching and operationalising this duty.
机构间的互动经常发生,并导致了重要的组织发展。本文有两个目的。首先,本文试图澄清国际水法中机构间合作义务的法律依据,重点关注在同一跨界流域共存的欧洲和南部非洲的流域组织(RBOs)。其次,文章评估了这两个地区的流域组织为落实机构间合作义务所采用的方法。文章的结论是,机构间合作义务远未完成,区域组织的后续做法在丰富和落实这一义务方面发挥着重要作用。

Area-based management tools under the BBNJ Agreement: Ambition or illusion? BBNJ 协议》下的区域管理工具:雄心还是幻想?

This article intends to answer the question of whether and to what extent the arrangements for area-based management tools (ABMTs) under the Agreement on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement) can contribute to the comprehensiveness, coherence and consistency of the international legal regime relating to ABMTs. To answer this question, the article analyses and evaluates the key aspects of the arrangements for ABMTs of the BBNJ Agreement, including consistency with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the interpretation of ‘not undermining’, decision making and the implementation mechanism. It concludes that the arrangements for ABMTs of the BBNJ Agreement are consistent with the UNCLOS and may contribute to the comprehensiveness, coherence and consistency of the international legal regime relating to ABMTs to a large extent. The article further notes that the arrangements for ABMTs of the BBNJ Agreement are ambitious, but lots of work needs to be done to ensure the ambition does not become an illusion.
本文旨在回答《国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的养护和可持续利用协定》(BBNJ 协定)下的区域管理工具(ABMTs)安排是否以及在多大程度上有助于提高有关区域管理工具的国际法律制度的全面性、一致性和连贯性。为回答这一问题,文章分析并评估了《国家管辖范围以外区域协定》中有关 ABMTs 安排的主要方面,包括与《联合国海洋法公约》(UNCLOS)的一致性、对 "不破坏 "的解释、决策和执行机制。文章得出结论认为,《BBNJ 协定》中有关 ABMT 的安排符合《联合国海洋法公约》,可在很大程度上促进有关 ABMT 的国际法律制度的全面性、连贯性和一致性。文章进一步指出,《南北角协定》的水域管理措施安排雄心勃勃,但仍需开展大量工作,以确保雄心壮志不会成为幻想。

Daniel Billy et al v Australia (Torres Strait Islanders Petition): Climate change inaction as a human rights violation 丹尼尔-比利等人诉澳大利亚(托雷斯海峡岛民请愿书):气候变化不作为是对人权的侵犯

This case note analyses in detail the decision of the United Nations Human Rights Committee (HRComm) in Daniel Billy et al v Australia. The decision concerned a communication brought by members of an indigenous peoples' group from the Torres Strait Islands in the state of Queensland, Australia. The applicants claimed that their human rights had been violated as a result of the State's failure to take mitigation and adaptation measures to combat the effects of climate change. The HRComm's finding of a violation of the applicants' human rights deserves a closer look, as it has broader implications for future climate change-related human rights litigation. While the HRComm missed the opportunity to consider the State's human rights obligations concerning climate change mitigation, this decision represents an important milestone in climate change litigation, as it confirms a State's obligation to protect a community from adverse climate change effects and recognises the specific vulnerabilities of indigenous peoples and their cultures to its impacts.
本案例说明详细分析了联合国人权委员会(HRComm)在丹尼尔-比利等人诉澳大利亚一案中的裁决。该决定涉及澳大利亚昆士兰州托雷斯海峡群岛的一个土著民族团体成员提交的一份来文。申请人声称,由于该国未能采取缓解和适应措施来应对气候变化的影响,他们的人权受到了侵犯。人权事务委员会关于申请人人权受到侵犯的结论值得仔细研究,因为它对未来与气候变化相关的人权诉讼具有更广泛的影响。虽然人权事务委员会错过了审议国家在减缓气候变化方面的人权义务的机会,但这一裁决是气候变化诉讼的一个重要里程碑,因为它确认了国家保护社区免受气候变化不利影响的义务,并承认了土著人民及其文化在气候变化影响面前的特殊脆弱性。

While the HRComm missed the opportunity to consider the State's human rights obligations concerning climate change mitigation, this decision represents an important milestone in climate change litigation, as it confirms a State's obligation to protect a community from adverse climate change effects and recognises the specific vulnerabilities of indigenous peoples and their cultures to its impacts.","PeriodicalId":51681,"journal":{"name":"Review of European Comparative & International Environmental Law","volume":"256 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139515885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Climate change is expected to significantly alter hydrological regimes globally as well as locally. The impacts will encompass both long-term changes in hydrological trends and short-term extreme weather events. The need to anticipate and adapt to future changes will challenge legal rules and institutions, as these are bound to the past. This article analyses whether water law at international, EU and national (Finland) levels can deal with these hydrological changes. To this end, the analysis draws on a case study of the Finnish-Russian transboundary Vuoksi River. We discuss the main substantive and procedural challenges of water law and outline some necessary legal changes. Our analysis shows that while water law at these levels includes some legal mechanisms for managing varying hydrological circumstances, these will prove insufficient in the light of the scale of anticipated hydrological changes.
预计气候变化将极大地改变全球和地方的水文系统。这些影响既包括水文趋势的长期变化,也包括短期极端天气事件。预测和适应未来变化的需要将对法律规则和制度提出挑战,因为这些规则和制度受制于过去。本文分析了国际、欧盟和国家(芬兰)层面的水法能否应对这些水文变化。为此,本文以芬兰-俄罗斯跨界武奥克西河(Vuoksi River)为案例进行了分析。我们讨论了水法在实体和程序方面面临的主要挑战,并概述了一些必要的法律变革。我们的分析表明,虽然这些层面的水法包括一些管理不同水文情况的法律机制,但鉴于预期水文变化的规模,这些机制将被证明是不够的。
