With the Effort Sharing Regulation, Member States are challenged to steer their societies – particularly the agriculture, buildings, waste and transport sectors – towards lower greenhouse gas emissions. The Effort Sharing Regulation illustrates the large extent to which the European Union (EU) relies on the use of hard law for addressing climate change, including binding enforcement provisions. The approach of the Effort Sharing Regulation is, in essence, simple: it consists of individual binding emission reduction targets for Member States, which are given various options to achieve compliance in a supposedly flexible, cost‐effective way. In this sense, the effort sharing approach is a continuation of the regulatory approach put forward by the Kyoto Protocol. The Effort Sharing Regulation can also serve as an example for third countries to adopt binding emission reduction targets, and it can be considered whether it would be beneficial to link such binding targets of third countries with this EU mechanism. However, a closer look at the Regulation highlights the challenges for its implementation, and the correct use of flexibilities, together with the proper application of the monitoring and enforcement provisions will be key for a successful outcome. The reputation of the EU taking leadership for combating climate change hinges on demonstrating compliance and on taking effective enforcement action where needed.

The Paris Agreement moves away from top-down agreed national targets towards a bottom-up system in which each party submits regular nationally determined contributions (NDCs) The Agreement outlines a highly adaptable process in which, every five years, parties are required to update their NDCs, which must represent a progression on their existing contribution This article analyses the extent to which the European Union?s 2030 Climate and Energy Policy Framework has created an adaptable structure that reflects the Paris Agreement?s ratchet mechanism The article contrasts this approach with the carbon budget process adopted under the United Kingdom?s Climate Change Act The article assesses the respective advantages and disadvantages of creating a system where targets are easily increased on a medium-term basis allowing responsiveness to changed circumstances such as scientific data indicating the need for more rapid emission reductions, versus a stable system that provides greater certainty for economic actors

The sixth Global Environment Outlook argues that the planet is becoming seriously polluted, with huge consequences for the health and wellbeing of people Legal instruments for assessing and reporting environmental impacts of projects have focused on environment impact assessments (EIAs) However, increasingly health impact assessment (HIA) is being used to emphasize the health dimensions of the environment and sustainable development This article addresses the question: How can HIA legislation help developing countries to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? A key aspect of the SDGs is to minimize trade-offs and enhance synergies This could be to some extent operationalized by HIAs through enhancing synergies on health and reducing trade-offs on health The article first sketches the relationship between EIAs and HIAs and provides an overview of the global distribution of HIA legislation Second, it discusses the benefits and challenges of HIA legislation oriented towards sustainable development agendas by gathering lessons learned across the globe and highlighting those relevant to developing countries The article concludes by sketching how HIA policy can be catalysed and operationalized to achieve the SDGs
