In times of a climate emergency, the law plays an important role in finding (legal) solutions to damaging processes such as environmental degradation. The role of public international law in areas related to the environment has been analysed by Markus Vordermayer-Riemer initially in a doctoral thesis while having been a research assistant at the Institute of International Law of Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich. Based upon the thesis, Vordermayer-Riemer has recently published a long, but comprehensive book on Non-Regression in International Environmental Law: Human Rights Doctrine and the Promises of Comparative International Law. Focusing on international treaties, the book looks at non-regression from the perspective of human rights law (Part I), environmental treaty regimes (Part II), and comparative international law (Part III). ‘(T)he central hypothesis of the (...) book is that human rights treaties and [multilateral environmental agreements] may have much more in common than is usually thought’ (Page 28). Human rights treaties and multilateral environmental agreements are, therefore, considered together in Part I and II, while comparative international law is introduced in the final part in order to build on encountered traces and to examine the potential of ‘mutual inspiration’ of human rights law and international environmental law. Part I consists of three chapters and covers the human rights angle of the book. The first chapter provides important background on the sources and interpretation of international human rights law. The second chapter solely covers the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Different regional human rights regimes such as the European Social Charter and the Inter-American Human Rights system are covered in the third chapter. Altogether, Part I provides a detailed analysis of progressive obligations and non-regression on the respective human rights frameworks. A conclusion covering the characteristics, strengths, and shortcomings of each regime can be found at the end of every section, or if applicable, at the end of the chapter. Part II of the book is also divided into three chapters and examines whether corresponding or similar normative elements have emerged in international environmental law. Chapter 4 lays out the sources of international environmental law and the interpretation of multilateral environmental agreements. A deeper insight into environmental regimes is provided in the following two chapters, covering the climate change legal regime (Chapter 5) and environmental agreements, focusing on the conservation of biodiversity, such as the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (Chapter 6). Book Review
在气候紧急情况下,法律在寻找(法律)解决环境退化等破坏性进程方面发挥着重要作用。Markus Vordermayer-Riemer最初在慕尼黑路德维希-马克西米利安大学国际法研究所担任研究助理时,在一篇博士论文中分析了国际公法在与环境有关的领域中的作用。基于这篇论文,Vordermayer-Riemer最近出版了一本关于国际环境法中的非回归:人权主义和比较国际法的承诺的长篇而全面的书。本书以国际条约为重点,从人权法(第一部分)、环境条约制度(第二部分)和比较国际法(第三部分)的角度看待非回归问题。“(……)本书的中心假设是,人权条约和[多边环境协定]可能比通常认为的有更多的共同点”(第28页)。因此,人权条约和多边环境协定将在第一部分和第二部分一并考虑,而比较国际法则在最后一部分介绍,以便在遇到的痕迹的基础上进一步研究人权法和国际环境法“相互启发”的潜力。第一部分由三章组成,涵盖了本书的人权角度。第一章提供了关于国际人权法渊源和解释的重要背景。第二章只涉及《经济、社会、文化权利国际盟约》。第三章涵盖了不同的区域人权制度,例如《欧洲社会宪章》和美洲间人权制度。总而言之,第一部分详细分析了各自人权框架的渐进式义务和不退步性。在每一节的结尾处,或者在每一章的结尾处,可以找到涵盖每种制度的特点、优点和缺点的结论。本书的第二部分也分为三章,探讨国际环境法中是否出现了相应或类似的规范要素。第四章阐述了国际环境法的渊源和多边环境协定的解释。以下两章提供了对环境制度的更深入了解,包括气候变化法律制度(第5章)和环境协议,重点是保护生物多样性,如《生物多样性公约》和《保护野生动物迁徙物种公约》(第6章)

This paper examines the challenges that bedevil the regulation of plastic pollution in Cameroon. Drawing on existing primary and secondary data, the paper argues that although there is an enabling legal environment for regulating plastic pollution in Cameroon, such an enabling environment disappointingly is not comprehensive and holistic to effectively combat plastic pollution owing to some pertinent reasons. Because of such reasons, the paper finds that the legal environment is timid and lends little support for effectively combating plastic pollution in Cameroon as land and marine plastics litter is continually on a hike. After demonstrating that the current legal efforts are timid and are not fit to address the current plastic pollution crisis and its associated harms, the paper recommends some key measures and pathways to effectively tackle the problem with a major one being the dire need for a comprehensive legislation that addresses plastics and the plastic pollution crisis in a holistic manner and that such legislation must be contingent on a similar global legally binding agreement that enjoins all countries to adopt, implement and enforce national plastics and plastic pollution legislation.
本文探讨了困扰喀麦隆塑料污染监管的挑战。根据现有的一手和二手数据,本文认为,虽然喀麦隆有一个有利的法律环境来调节塑料污染,但令人失望的是,由于一些相关的原因,这种有利的环境并不能全面和全面地有效地打击塑料污染。由于这些原因,该论文发现,由于陆地和海洋塑料垃圾不断增加,喀麦隆的法律环境很胆小,对有效打击塑料污染的支持很少。在证明了目前的法律努力是胆怯的,不适合解决当前的塑料污染危机及其相关危害之后,本文建议了一些有效解决问题的关键措施和途径,其中一个主要问题是迫切需要一项全面的立法,以全面的方式解决塑料和塑料污染危机,这种立法必须取决于一项类似的具有法律约束力的全球协议,该协议要求所有国家采用、实施和执行国家塑料和塑料污染立法。

The quest for coherent climate governance and the importance of linking emissions trading schemes 寻求连贯的气候治理以及将排放交易计划联系起来的重要性
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-06-01 DOI: 10.1177/14614529221101098

A diverse range of regulatory schemes in climate policy has produced a fragmented and crowded governance landscape. Devising pathways towards converging all of the different climate governance approaches would be a Herculean task, but it is argued here that this should not inhibit efforts to scale up regulatory initiatives in specific areas of climate governance. In this respect, it is argued that linking emissions trading schemes (ETSs) would significantly contribute to the development of creating more durable and connected climate governance arrangements. At present, the global expansion of ETSs raises risks of potential regulatory divergence, conflict, and the emergence of a disconnected patchwork of schemes. However, the expansion of trading schemes has also brought an increased interest in the feasibility of linkage between ETSs. This opinion argues that, in the absence of a comprehensive multilateral regime governing emissions trading, policymakers and scholars must instead refocus on the challenges of creating a coherent climate governance architecture from the bottom-up. It further suggests that the development and implementation of durable linkages between ETSs are critical building blocks in this quest.
气候政策方面各种各样的监管计划造成了一个支离破碎、拥挤不堪的治理格局。设计融合所有不同气候治理方法的途径将是一项艰巨的任务,但本文认为,这不应阻碍在气候治理的特定领域扩大监管举措的努力。在这方面,有人认为,将排放交易计划(ets)联系起来将大大有助于建立更持久和相互联系的气候治理安排。目前,碳交易体系的全球扩张带来了潜在监管分歧、冲突和出现不连贯的计划拼凑的风险。然而,交易计划的扩大也增加了人们对交易体系之间联系的可行性的兴趣。这种观点认为,在缺乏管理排放交易的全面多边机制的情况下,政策制定者和学者必须重新关注自下而上创建连贯的气候治理架构的挑战。它进一步表明,发展和实施碳排放交易体系之间的持久联系是这一探索的关键组成部分。

Continuing nuisance and limitation in the Court of Appeal: Jalla v Shell 上诉法院的持续妨害和限制:Jalla诉壳牌
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-06-01 DOI: 10.1177/14614529221102760
E. Lees
large geographical area involved, can be (and in Jalla 2 perhaps is) the subject of perfectly workable litigation: it is just not possible to categorise it as a representative action under r.19.6. 13 This litigation has been bedevilled by problems, many of which arise from the limitation issues, and others from the way in which it has been set up and run. Those problems are, I am afraid, the claimants ’ responsibility. Their unconventional attempts to avoid the defendants ’ limitation defences (by way of the assertion of continuing nuisance and the suggestion that the 2017 action was a representative action) have been rejected by every court which has considered them. In some ways, this is a claim that is facing death by a thousand cuts. 22 The paradigm example of a continuing cause of action in nuisance is the tree-roots case. The roots of a landowner ’ s tree spread, and encroach under the neighbouring land. The roots begin to undermine the foundations of his neighbour ’ s house. Until such time as the landowner cuts down or severely prunes back the tree in question, he is responsible for the continuing encroachment of the roots. The tree roots therefore comprise a continuing nuisance. The landowner ’ s failure to abate the nuisance by dealing with the tree is a continuing one. 33
所涉及的地理区域很大,可以(在Jalla 2中可能是)完全可行的诉讼的主题:只是不可能将其归类为第19.6条规定的代表性诉讼。这一诉讼一直受到各种问题的困扰,其中许多是由诉讼时效问题引起的,还有一些是由诉讼的建立和运行方式引起的。恐怕这些问题是索赔人的责任。他们非常规地试图避免被告的时效辩护(通过主张持续妨害和暗示2017年的诉讼是代表诉讼),但已被所有考虑过他们的法院驳回。在某些方面,这是一种面临千刀万剐的主张。妨害案件中持续诉因的典型例子是树根案。地主的树根伸展开来,侵蚀到邻近的土地下面。树根开始破坏他邻居房子的地基。在土地所有者砍倒或严重修剪树木之前,他要对根部的持续侵蚀负责。因此,树根构成了一个持续的麻烦。土地所有者未能通过处理这棵树来减少滋扰是一个持续的问题。33

Biodiversity – gaining ground? 生物多样性——取得进展?
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-03-01 DOI: 10.1177/14614529221085937
Yarema Ronish, H. Hilburn
England's new biodiversity net gain legislation represents a historic milestone, and a vital step towards reversing the long-term depletion of the natural environment by human activity. Adopted in November 2021, the new legislation will require new building and infrastructure projects to provide a 10% net gain in biodiversity. First proposed over a decade ago, biodiversity net gain policies were initially envisaged as a means to create large scale ecological networks, by offsetting habitat lost to development with strategically located habitat creation. In their current form however, the net gain policies primarily focus on mitigating localised effects of development. We argue that off-site habitat gains should be encouraged, to support the creation of large-scale ecological networks. There are considerable resourcing bottlenecks and knowledge gaps which could hamper the successful delivery of the net gain legislation. To roll out these policies across all of England and at all scales of development will require a much bigger cohort of ecologists, specialist training for developers and their professional teams, and new collaborative working practices linking the private, public and charitable sectors.
英国新的生物多样性净收益立法代表了一个历史性的里程碑,也是扭转人类活动对自然环境长期消耗的重要一步。新立法于2021年11月通过,将要求新的建筑和基础设施项目提供10%的生物多样性净增长。生物多样性净收益政策最初是在十多年前提出的,它最初被设想为一种创建大规模生态网络的手段,通过在战略位置创造栖息地来抵消因发展而失去的栖息地。然而,就目前的形式而言,净收益政策主要侧重于减轻发展的局部影响。我们认为应该鼓励场外栖息地的增加,以支持大规模生态网络的创建。存在相当大的资源瓶颈和知识差距,可能妨碍成功实施净收益立法。要在整个英格兰和所有规模的发展中推行这些政策,将需要更多的生态学家,对开发商及其专业团队的专业培训,以及将私营、公共和慈善部门联系起来的新的协作工作实践。

This analysis considers the case of R (on the application of ClientEarth) v Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and another. The piece will begin by providing an overview of the case background. It will then provide more detailed discussion of the ruling. Finally, analysis of the significance of the case and the subsequent ruling will follow. Specifically, it will point towards three important implications resulting from the ruling. The first implication concerns the reflection of the rising visibility of cases relating to emissions targets being brought to court in the UK. The second implication is how the ruling displays the limitations appellants face when bringing cases to court on the grounds of actors failing to align with future emissions target agreements. The third is that the ruling sets precedent proving government bodies to approve fossil fuel-based energy development projects with essentially no limitations.
本分析考虑了R(关于ClientEarth应用)诉商业、能源和工业战略大臣等案件。本文将首先概述案例背景。然后,它将对该裁决进行更详细的讨论。最后,对本案的意义和后续判决进行分析。具体而言,它将指出该裁决产生的三个重要影响。第一个含义是,在英国,与排放目标有关的案件越来越多,这反映了这一点。第二个含义是,当上诉人以行为者未能与未来的排放目标协议保持一致为由向法院提起诉讼时,该裁决如何显示了上诉人面临的限制。第三,该裁决开创了先例,证明政府机构批准基于化石燃料的能源开发项目基本上没有限制。

What do we mean when we talk about the moral hazard of geoengineering? 当我们谈论地球工程的道德风险时,我们指的是什么?

Geoengineering technologies – deliberate, large-scale interventions to alter the Earth's climate – present an opportunity to ameliorate the effects of climate change; an opportunity policy-makers are beginning to consider. However, the safety and efficacy of geoengineering strategies is uncertain, and there is concern advancing these technologies engenders a range of non-physical risks; in particular, moral hazard. In economics, moral hazard occurs when insured agents no longer bear the full consequences of risk-taking, and consequentially increase their exposure to risk. However, while certainly analogous, the way the term is used in the geoengineering literature is ambiguous, describing a patchwork of mechanisms of action, hazardous behaviours, and undesirable outcomes. Importantly, as moral hazard concerns are likely to inform policy-making and regulatory responses to these technologies, this unclear specification could impede scholarly, policy, and public debate. This article charts this ambiguity, documenting the range of meanings of moral hazard in the geoengineering literature. Results suggest moral hazard is used at least eight different ways in the literature, with the three most common frames being Insurance, Unwilling and Avoid. With this, we suggest that those articulating moral hazard concerns about geoengineering technologies work to articulate as clearly as possible what the problem actually is.
地球工程技术——有意改变地球气候的大规模干预——提供了一个改善气候变化影响的机会;这是政策制定者开始考虑的一个机会。然而,地球工程策略的安全性和有效性是不确定的,并且有人担心推进这些技术会产生一系列非物理风险;尤其是道德风险。在经济学中,当被保险代理人不再承担冒险的全部后果,从而增加了他们的风险敞口时,就会发生道德风险。然而,虽然肯定是类似的,但在地球工程文献中使用该术语的方式是模糊的,描述了行动机制,危险行为和不良后果的拼凑。重要的是,由于道德风险问题可能会影响对这些技术的政策制定和监管反应,这种不明确的规范可能会阻碍学术、政策和公众辩论。这篇文章描绘了这种模糊性,记录了地球工程文献中道德风险的含义范围。结果表明,道德风险在文献中至少有八种不同的用法,其中最常见的三种用法是“保险”、“不愿意”和“避免”。有了这个,我们建议那些对地球工程技术的道德风险担忧的人尽可能清楚地阐明问题的实际是什么。

However, while certainly analogous, the way the term is used in the geoengineering literature is ambiguous, describing a patchwork of mechanisms of action, hazardous behaviours, and undesirable outcomes. Importantly, as moral hazard concerns are likely to inform policy-making and regulatory responses to these technologies, this unclear specification could impede scholarly, policy, and public debate. This article charts this ambiguity, documenting the range of meanings of moral hazard in the geoengineering literature. Results suggest moral hazard is used at least eight different ways in the literature, with the three most common frames being Insurance, Unwilling and Avoid. With this, we suggest that those articulating moral hazard concerns about geoengineering technologies work to articulate as clearly as possible what the problem actually is.","PeriodicalId":52213,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Law Review","volume":"107 1","pages":"27 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83942743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 infers that the total CO2 emissions would need to fall by around 45% from 2010 levels by 2030. The general sustainable development scenario suggests that change in energy demand will uphold an extensive usage of renewable energy and clean energy technologies. This paper focuses on the Rotterdam Nucleus Project and how it can contribute to large-scale CO2 transportation from the Port of Rotterdam to CO2 storage with capacity within 20 km of the Dutch coast. The Project is a model for establishing a European CCS infrastructure in the North Sea, targeting a gateway transferring CO2 from source to sink. It envisions taking part in the subsequent EU CO2 Project of Common Interest (PCI), facilitating financial support from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). In the first section, this paper analyses the ad hoc approach governing the implementation of the Rotterdam Nucleus, including the relevant regulatory framework at both national and local levels and its investment arrangements alongside the EU Commission. The following section stresses the Project's foundational approach and how inter-national law assists the global governance of offshore CCS transportation.
到2050年实现净零排放意味着,到2030年,二氧化碳总排放量需要在2010年的基础上下降45%左右。一般可持续发展设想表明,能源需求的变化将维持可再生能源和清洁能源技术的广泛使用。本文的重点是鹿特丹核项目,以及它如何有助于从鹿特丹港到荷兰海岸20公里范围内的二氧化碳储存能力的大规模二氧化碳运输。该项目是在北海建立欧洲CCS基础设施的典范,目标是建立一个将二氧化碳从源转移到汇的门户。它设想参加随后的欧盟二氧化碳共同利益项目(PCI),促进连接欧洲基金(CEF)的财政支持。在第一部分中,本文分析了管理鹿特丹核实施的特别方法,包括国家和地方层面的相关监管框架及其与欧盟委员会的投资安排。下一节强调该项目的基本方法以及国际法如何协助海上CCS运输的全球治理。
