Saving the Earth for Future Generations: Some Reflections 为子孙后代拯救地球:一些思考
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-06-04 DOI: 10.3233/epl-239030
Klaus Bosselmann
Most legal systems recognize trusteeship functions of individuals or institutions to act on behalf and in the interest of those who cannot legally act for themselves. They can be advanced for the effective protection of future generations and the Earth. Guidance for Earth Trusteeship exist in the form of two agreements created by global civil society, the 2000 Earth Charter and the 2018 Hague Principles. Current opportunities include the UN Secretary General’s call for “repurposing the Trusteeship Council”, the UN Summit of the Future and ongoing developments in many countries towards implementing ecological integrity and rights of nature into their legal systems.
大多数法律制度都承认个人或机构的托管职能,即代表无法依法为自己行事的人的利益行事。这些职能可以促进对后代和地球的有效保护。全球公民社会制定了两项协议,即 2000 年的《地球宪章》和 2018 年的《海牙原则》,为地球托管提供了指导。当前的机遇包括联合国秘书长呼吁 "重新利用托管理事会"、联合国未来峰会以及许多国家在将生态完整性和自然权利纳入其法律体系方面的持续发展。

 The British Office for Environmental Protection was established in 2021 following the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union. It is the most recent of just a handful of independent environmental watchdog bodies established in global jurisdictions to date, and has a broad range of powers. These include the evaluation of government policy, advice to government on new environmental law, reviewing the implementation of environmental law, and enforcement powers against government and other public bodies for breaches of environmental duties. The need for such bodies in the environmental field is important, and the Office for Environmental Protection may provide a useful model for other countries.
英国环境保护办公室成立于 2021 年英国脱离欧盟之后。它是迄今为止全球辖区内成立的少数几个独立环境监督机构中最新的一个,拥有广泛的权力。这些权力包括评估政府政策、就新环境法向政府提供建议、审查环境法的执行情况,以及对政府和其他公共机构违反环境义务的行为进行执法。在环境领域对此类机构的需求非常重要,环境保护办公室可以为其他国家提供一个有用的模式。

Climate change is the greatest existential challenge for the humanity and this makes the implementation of the SDG 13 ‘Climate Action’ and Paris Agreement on Climate Change crucial for our survival. This article begins by elaborating the concept of implementation of international law, makes a comparison between the legal character of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the SDGs. It argues that the Paris Agreement creates the necessary legal framework, transparency, technology transfer, accountability, capacity building, financing and other mechanisms to implement SDG 13. However, the lack of political will and ignorance by some governments has led to a lack of progress, which may jeopardize not only Climate Action, but other SDGs too. The article ends with the argument that UN member-states should undertake urgent action to mitigate climate change, adapt to its negative consequences and co-operate towards an effective global climate governance, and for that matter it would be helpful, if climate action is formulated as a new and separate purpose in the UN Charter.
气候变化是人类面临的最大生存挑战,因此,落实可持续发展目标 13 "气候行动 "和《气候变化巴黎协定》对我们的生存至关重要。本文首先阐述了国际法实施的概念,比较了《气候变化巴黎协定》和可持续发展目标的法律性质。文章认为,《巴黎协定》为实施可持续发展目标 13 创建了必要的法律框架、透明度、技术转让、问责制、能力建设、融资和其他机制。然而,由于缺乏政治意愿和一些政府的无知,导致缺乏进展,这不仅可能危及气候行动,也可能危及其他可持续发展目标。文章最后指出,联合国会员国应采取紧急行动,减缓气候变化,适应其负面影响,并为实现有效的全球气候治理而合作。

In the face of an escalating Anthropocene crisis characterized by climate change and the degradation of Earth’s systems, the necessity or a unified global governance framework is paramount. The United Nations, despite its central role in environmental governance and achievements such as the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals, confronts significant challenges. These challenges include institutional fragmentation, coordination difficulties, and a gap in implementation, which pose obstacles to translating ambitious environmental goals into tangible outcomes. This paper argues that strategic revitalization and structural reforms are crucial for the UN to maintain its pivotal role in global environmental governance. It proposes specific measures to enhance the UN’s effectiveness in environmental governance, including transforming the United Nations Environment Program into a Global Environmental Agency, establishing a regulatory framework to improve coordination among Multilateral Environmental Agreements, upgrading the Global Environment Facility, emphasizing environmental stewardship and repurpose of the UN Trusteeship Council. These recommendations aim to address the current institutional challenges and pave the way for more effective global environmental governance.
面对以气候变化和地球系统退化为特征的不断升级的人类世危机,建立一个统一的全球治理框架至关重要。尽管联合国在环境治理方面发挥着核心作用,并取得了《巴黎协定》和可持续发展目标等成就,但它仍面临着重大挑战。这些挑战包括机构分散、协调困难和执行差距,这些都阻碍了将宏伟的环境目标转化为实际成果。本文认为,战略振兴和结构改革对于联合国保持其在全球环境治理中的关键作用至关重要。本文提出了提高联合国环境治理效率的具体措施,包括将联合国环境规划署转变为全球环境机构、建立监管框架以改善多边环境协定之间的协调、升级全球环境基金、强调环境管理以及重新启用联合国托管理事会。这些建议旨在应对当前的体制挑战,为更有效的全球环境治理铺平道路。

The Climate Change Conundrum: A Case for Course Correction in the Global Regulatory Approach$ 气候变化难题:全球监管方式的方向修正案例$
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-05-03 DOI: 10.3233/epl-239028
Bharat H. Desai, Jay B. Desai
The Conference of Parties (COP) of the multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) provides a platform at a specific periodicity (one, two or three years) to review work of the Convention in question. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is a ‘universal’ convention with 198 parties. The 28th annual meeting of the COP (UNFCCC) was held in Dubai (UAE) during 30 November - 13 December 2023. The UN provides ‘secretariat’ support to the UNFCCC, hence the usage of prefix ‘United Nations’. It is called a ‘framework convention’ since it was adopted with a bare skeleton on 09 May 1992. It required ‘fleshing out’ of the UNFCCC with required elements to make it work for the “‘ultimate objective” of “stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system” (Article 2). It led to the adoption of the (“related legal instruments”) 1997 Kyoto Protocol and 2015 Paris Agreement. The climate change regime now comprises these three legal instruments that seek to address the global climate problematique. Whereas COP27 (Sharm El-Shaik; 06–21 November 2022) was known for adoption of the decision on “loss and damage” funding for vulnerable countries hit hard by climate disasters, COP28 unveiled the first global climate ‘stocktake’. This took place on the heels of UNEP Emissions Gap Report (20 November 2023) that issued warming that “world is heading for a temperature rise far above the Paris Agreement goals unless countries deliver more than they have promised”. The UNEP report called for the GHG emissions (by 2030) to “fall by 28 per cent for the Paris Agreement 2°C pathway and 42 per cent for the 1.5°C pathway”. Thus, there is a big chasm between what is laid down in the climate change regulatory framework, what is scientifically ordained and what is actually given effect on the ground by the states Parties. After 30 years (1994–2024), the resultant ‘conundrum’ presents a challenge at this juncture of planetary crisis. It calls for the state Parties to the global climate change regime to engage in a major course correction in the current global climate change regulatory approaches for securing our planetary future.
多边环境协定(MEAs)缔约方大会(COP)在特定周期(一年、两年或三年)为审查相关公约的工作提供了一个平台。联合国气候变化框架公约》(UNFCCC)是一项 "普遍性 "公约,有 198 个缔约方。联合国气候变化框架公约》(UNFCCC)第 28 次缔约方会议于 2023 年 11 月 30 日至 12 月 13 日在迪拜(阿联酋)举行。联合国为《联合国气候变化框架公约》提供 "秘书处 "支持,因此使用了 "联合国 "前缀。该公约被称为 "框架公约",因为它是在 1992 年 5 月 9 日通过的。它要求《联合国气候变化框架公约》"充实 "所需的内容,使其能够实现 "最终目标",即 "将大气中温室气体的浓度稳定在防止气候系统受到危险的人为干扰的水平上"(第 2 条)。这导致 1997 年《京都议定书》和 2015 年《巴黎协定》("相关法律文书")的通过。目前,气候变化机制包括这三个旨在解决全球气候问题的法律文书。缔约方大会第二十七届会议(沙姆沙伊赫,2022 年 11 月 6-21 日)因通过了关于为遭受气候灾害严重打击的脆弱国家提供 "损失和损害 "资金的决定而闻名,而缔约方大会第二十八届会议则公布了首个全球气候 "盘点"。在此之前,联合国环境规划署(UNEP)发布了《排放差距报告》(2023 年 11 月 20 日),该报告指出:"除非各国采取比承诺更多的行动,否则全球气温升幅将远远超过《巴黎协定》的目标"。联合国环境规划署的报告呼吁温室气体排放量(到 2030 年)"在《巴黎协定》的 2°C 路径下下降 28%,在 1.5°C 路径下下降 42%"。因此,气候变化监管框架中规定的内容、科学上规定的内容和缔约国在当地实际执行的内容之间存在巨大差距。30 年之后(1994-2024 年),由此产生的 "难题 "在地球危机的关头提出了挑战。它要求全球气候变化制度的缔约国对目前的全球气候变化监管方法进行重大修正,以确保我们地球的未来。

The Challenge of Political Will, Global Democracy and Environmentalism 政治意愿、全球民主和环保主义的挑战
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-04-21 DOI: 10.3233/epl-239023

 In 2024, around the world nearly 60 national elections will be held involving billions of people. Many commentators see this as a make-or-break moment in terms of re-establishing democracy and pushing back against rising authoritarian regimes that have been increasing in recent years. This essay explores why –despite worldwide scientific consensus that we are facing ecological collapse –there is little discussion about the climate crisis among the upcoming wave of national elections. This silence around the climate emergency raises several pressing questions: Why is there limited political will on behalf of national leaders when it comes to mitigating the climate crisis? What does this suggest about the state of democracy when political leaders can sidestep and ignore the escalating demands of their constituencies? Finally, what actions can be taken by ordinary people who are increasingly subject to repressive anti-protest laws that prevent them from speaking out against antidemocratic leaders and their political collusion with the fossil fuel sector?
2024 年,全世界将举行近 60 场全国大选,涉及数十亿人。许多评论家认为,就重建民主和反击近年来不断上升的独裁政权而言,这是一个不成功便成仁的时刻。本文探讨了为什么尽管全世界的科学界一致认为我们正面临着生态崩溃,但在即将到来的国家选举浪潮中却鲜有关于气候危机的讨论。这种对气候紧急情况的沉默提出了几个紧迫的问题:为什么国家领导人在缓解气候危机方面的政治意愿有限?当政治领导人可以回避和忽视其选民不断升级的要求时,这对民主状况有何启示?最后,普通民众越来越多地受到反抗议法律的压制,无法对反民主领导人及其与化石燃料部门的政治勾结发表意见,他们可以采取哪些行动?

The Planetary Crisis: Applicability of Negotiorum Gestio 行星危机:Negotiorum Gestio 的适用性
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-04-19 DOI: 10.3233/epl-239020
Kazuhiro Nakatani
Negotiorum gestio is originally a civil law concept. When an intervenor acts on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the principal without the prior consent of the principal, the intervenor is entitled to reimbursement of expenses. The concept of n egotiorum gestio can provide a legal basis for it. Does the concept exist in international law? Although negotiorum gestio is rarely referred to in international law and its legal status is unclear, we can find it in some treaties like salvage conventions as well as some diplomatic practices like the reimbursement of expenses arising from the assistance to abate and prevent environmental damage to the Gulf after the Gulf War in the framework of the United Nations Compensation Commission. Moreover, the application of the concept of negotiorum gestio is indispensable for addressing planetary level crisis such as space debris and planetary defense. Even if international cooperation is difficult due to geopolitical situations, voluntary actions by a State acting in good faith to mitigate the crisis should be promoted. Negotiorum gestio can be the legal basis of such actions.
Negotiorum gestio 原为民法概念。当居间人未经委托人事先同意而代表委托人并为委托人的利益行事时,居间人有权要求偿还费用。n egotiorum gestio 概念可为其提供法律依据。国际法中是否存在这一概念?虽然在国际法中很少提及 "谈判姿态"(negotiorum gestio),而且其法律地位也不明确,但我们可以在一些条约(如救助公约)和一些外交实践中找到它,如在联合国赔偿委员会的框架内,对海湾战争后为减轻和防止海湾环境损害而提供的援助所产生的费用进行补偿。此外,在解决诸如空间碎片和行星防御等地球层面的危机时,应用协商态势的概念也是不可或缺的。即使由于地缘政治局势而难以开展国际合作,也应促进国家采取自愿行动,真诚地缓解危机。Negotiorum gestio 可以作为此类行动的法律依据。

Carbon Pricing Policy to Support Net Zero Emission: A Comparative Study of Indonesia, Finland and Sweden 支持净零排放的碳定价政策:印度尼西亚、芬兰和瑞典的比较研究
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-04-11 DOI: 10.3233/epl-230047
Yati Nurhayati, Ifrani, Mokhamad Khoirul Huda
The Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of Indonesia in the Paris Agreement targeted emission reductions of 29% on its own and 41% with international cooperation in 2030, followed by Net Zero Emissions (NZE) in 2060. To achieve NZE, Indonesia enacted a carbon tax policy on April 1, 2022. The 2022–2024 carbon tax is limited to Steam Power Plants and will be imposed on other sectors by 2030. This research examines the ratio legis of carbon cost policies in Indonesia and compares the core of carbon tax policies in Indonesia with Sweden and Finland. Indonesia is starting to implement a Carbon Pricing policy under the ‘Cap-and-Tax’ scheme. The Cap scheme will be a means to force changes in the business culture in Indonesia, so the companies will pay attention to and reduce the carbon emission produced to avoid paying penalties for carbon exceeding the limits. Meanwhile, the Carbon Tax will provide economic resources to Indonesia to develop environmentally friendly technologies, fund research on renewable energy, and provide incentives for environmentally friendly businesses during the transition process to a carbon culture in Indonesia. Referring to the results of the comparison of carbon pricing policies in Finland and Sweden, Indonesia can gradually increase the cost of carbon taxes starting from Rp30,000/US$2 per ton CO2 equivalent to US$10 per ton CO2 equivalent. Meanwhile, for the imposition of high carbon tax rates, such as in Finland (US$73.02 per ton CO2 equivalent) and Sweden (US$137 per ton CO2 equivalent), Indonesia must carry out tax reforms, so the applied carbon tax is able to reduce carbon emissions without causing adverse impacts for the Indonesian economy.
印尼在《巴黎协定》中的 "国家自主贡献"(NDC)目标是在 2030 年自主减排 29%,在国际合作下减排 41%,并在 2060 年实现 "净零排放"(NZE)。为实现 NZE,印尼于 2022 年 4 月 1 日颁布了碳税政策。2022-2024 年的碳税仅限于蒸汽发电厂,到 2030 年将对其他行业征收。本研究探讨了印尼碳成本政策的比率立法,并将印尼碳税政策的核心与瑞典和芬兰进行了比较。印尼正在 "上限与税收 "计划下开始实施碳定价政策。上限 "计划将迫使印尼的商业文化发生变化,从而使企业关注并减少碳排放,避免因碳排放超标而支付罚金。同时,碳税将为印尼提供经济资源,用于开发环保技术、资助可再生能源研究,并在印尼向碳文化过渡的过程中为环保型企业提供激励。参考芬兰和瑞典碳定价政策的比较结果,印尼可逐步提高碳税成本,从每吨二氧化碳当量 30,000 印尼盾/2 美元开始,提高到每吨二氧化碳当量 10 美元。同时,对于征收高碳税率的国家,如芬兰(每吨二氧化碳当量 73.02 美元)和瑞典(每吨二氧化碳当量 137 美元),印尼必须进行税制改革,以便所征收的碳税能够减少碳排放,同时不会对印尼经济造成不利影响。
