The Paris Climate Agreement can be seen as illustrating the evolution of how legal norms are enforced in international law. While the Agreement benefits from a carefully thought-out enforcement mechanism in the international legal order, with techniques that encourage compliance rather than sanction non-compliance, its enforcement is also supported by domestic legal orders. Indeed, the Paris Agreement benefits from both hard and soft enforcement mechanisms. Here, all techniques and all actors have a role to play. This contribution shows that in order to discern the enforcement mechanisms attached to a legal instrument, it is sometimes necessary to take a global and complex look at all legal orders, techniques and actors, since they can act in a complementary manner.
巴黎气候协定》可被视为国际法中法律规范执行方式演变的例证。虽然《协定》得益于国际法律秩序中经过深思熟虑的执行机制,采用鼓励遵守而非制裁不遵守的技术,但其执行也得到了国内法律秩序的支持。事实上,《巴黎协定》得益于硬性和软性执行机制。在这方面,所有技术和所有参与者都可以发挥作用。这表明,为了识别法律文书所附带的执行机制,有时有必要对所有法律秩序、技术和行为者进行全面而复杂的审视,因为它们可以以互补的方式发挥作用。

The 2023 New York SDG Summit Outcome: Rescue Plan for 2030 Agenda as a Wake-up Call for the Decision-makers 2023 年纽约可持续发展目标峰会成果:为决策者敲响警钟的 2030 年议程拯救计划

As a plenary organ of the UN, the General Assembly has invoked its principal instrumentality of resolutions to address a variety of global problems. The mirage of being called “recommendations” (Article 11, the UN Charter) has never come in the way of finesse with which the Assembly has invoked its resolutions to zero in on contemporary common concerns. The 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by resolution 70/1 (September 25, 2015) has been one such major global action plan that became a milestone in a long line of engagements that have also carried the normative halo. Now at the mid-way to the 15-year cycle (2015–2030), the performance assessment on 17 Goals shows that the promise of leaving “no one behind” is in peril. In view of the reality of the world we live in and multiple interconnected planetary scale crisis situations, the UN member states have floundered in giving effect to the promises laid down in the 17 Goals of the 2030 Agenda. The UN Secretary-General’s report (April 27, 2023) has called for a resolute rescue plan for people and planet. The progress came to be reviewed at the SDG Summit convened by the UNGA President during September 18-19, 2023. The available data (Revised Zero Draft of June 8, 2023), underscored the gravity of the peril faced by the humankind since, out of 140 targets, “only about 12 per cent are on track; more than half, although showing some progress, are moderately or severely off track; and some 30 per cent have either seen no movement or regressed below the 2015 baseline”. The Political Declaration adopted at the New York SDG Summit coinciding with the meeting of the High-Level Political Forum, sought to work out a rescue plan considering the UNSG’s stimulus plan and taken the “pledge to act now, for present and future generations”. This article examines the process, the promise, the pledge and the rescue plan for the SDGs in peril.
作为联合国的全会机构,联大利用其决议这一主要工具来解决各种全球性问题。被称为 "建议"(《联合国宪章》第十一条)的海市蜃楼从未妨碍过联大援引其决议来解决当代共同关切的问题。第 70/1 号决议(2015 年 9 月 25 日)通过的 2030 年可持续发展目标(SDGs)就是这样一个重要的全球行动计划,它已成为一系列也带着规范光环的行动中的一个里程碑。如今,在 15 年周期(2015-2030 年)的中期,对 17 项目标的绩效评估表明,"不让一个人掉队 "的承诺岌岌可危。鉴于我们所生活的世界的现实和多个相互关联的地球规模的危机局势,联合国会员国在履行《2030 年议程》17 个目标中的承诺方面举步维艰。联合国秘书长的报告(2023 年 4 月 27 日)呼吁为人类和地球制定一项果断的拯救计划。联合国大会主席将在 2023 年 9 月 18-19 日召开的可持续发展目标峰会上审查进展情况。现有数据(2023 年 6 月 8 日修订的零草案)凸显了人类所面临危险的严重性,因为在 140 项目标中,"只有约 12% 的目标已步入正轨;一半以上的目标虽然取得了一些进展,但仍处于中度或严重偏离轨道的状态;约 30% 的目标要么毫无进展,要么倒退至 2015 年基线以下"。在纽约可持续发展目标峰会上通过的《政治宣言》与高级别政治论坛会议同时举行,旨在制定一项救援计划,其中考虑到了联合国秘书长的刺激计划,并做出了 "为了今世后代,现在就行动起来的承诺"。本文探讨了可持续发展目标的进程、承诺、保证和拯救计划。

Climate migration: A gendered perspective 气候迁移:性别视角
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-11-24 DOI: 10.3233/epl-239008
Susana Borràs-Pentinat
Climate change is being felt with increasing force and frequency, not only due to extreme weather events, but also due to the number of people who are forced to abandon their territories due to crucial humanitarian needs and protection gaps. However, pre-existing social, economic, and environmental vulnerabilities create a greater likelihood of being forced to move due to the impacts of climate change. Particularly important is this situation for women and girls who face intersectional and socio-structural discriminations, which shape their adaptation and resilience to climate impacts and, in the worst cases, conditions their migration processes. While migration induced by climate change has a very important gender component, it has not received enough attention. Neither statistical data nor legal frameworks adequately integrate and address climate migration from a gender perspective, which contributes to perpetuating vulnerabilities, invisibility and lack of protection. Therefore, this article addresses the international legal potentialities, developments, but also the limitations, to protect climate migrants from a gender sensitive and responsive perspective.
人们越来越强烈、越来越频繁地感受到气候变化的影响,这不仅是因为极端天气事件,还因为有许多人因关键的人道主义需求和保护缺口而被迫放弃自己的家园。然而,原有的社会、经济和环境脆弱性使人们更有可能因气候变化的影响而被迫迁移。对于妇女和女童来说,这种情况尤为重要,因为她们面临着交叉歧视和社会结构性歧视,这影响了她们对气候影响的适应能力和复原力,在最糟糕的情况下,还制约了她们的迁移过程。虽然气候变化引起的移民具有非常重要的性别因素,但却没有得到足够的重视。无论是统计数据还是法律框架,都没有从性别角度充分考虑和解决气候迁移问题,这导致了脆弱性、隐匿性和缺乏保护等问题的长期存在。因此,本文探讨了国际法律的潜力、发展以及局限性,以便从对性别问题有敏感认识和响应的角度保护气候移民。

Green Economy Policies in the Digital Transformation of Forest Management in Indonesia 印度尼西亚森林管理数字化转型中的绿色经济政策
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-11-11 DOI: 10.3233/epl-230026

This study examines green economy policies in relation to Indonesia’s digital transformation of forest management. It employs the normative juridical approach as well as the primary and secondary sources of legal materials. It demonstrates that the digital transformation policies of forest managements are implemented to reduce climate change and facilitate a green economy. The green economy approach underscores that sustainable development is premised upon improving human wellbeing and social equality considering environmental concerns. The instrumental theory uses a backward-looking approach and the substantive theory uses a forward-looking approach. The later adjusts to technological developments and protects interests disrupted by them. Hence, it can be used in making forestry digital transformation policies. Furthermore, the application of the legal theory of development exhibits the absolute and crucial importance of the digital transformation policies as a way of advancing forest management, community participation policies as well as transparency in environmental and forest management. They call for a holistic, all-encompassing, and interdisciplinary approaches. In view of this, this study presents novelty in the forestry-related digital transformation policies, which aim at lessening the harm to forests and ecosystems and the planet.
本研究探讨了与印度尼西亚森林管理数字化转型相关的绿色经济政策。研究采用了规范法学方法以及法律材料的主要和次要来源。研究表明,森林管理数字化转型政策的实施是为了减少气候变化和促进绿色经济。绿色经济方法强调,可持续发展的前提是改善人类福祉和社会平等,同时考虑到环境问题。工具性理论采用的是后瞻性方法,而实质性理论采用的是前瞻性方法。后一种理论根据技术发展进行调整,并保护受到技术发展干扰的利益。因此,它可用于制定林业数字化转型政策。此外,法律发展理论的应用表明,数字化转型政策作为推进森林管理、社区参与政策以及环境和森林管理透明度的一种方式,具有绝对和关键的重要性。这些都要求采取整体、全面和跨学科的方法。有鉴于此,本研究介绍了与林业相关的数字化转型政策的新颖性,这些政策旨在减少对森林、生态系统和地球的危害。

UNFCCC: A Feminist Perspective 联合国气候变化框架公约》:女性主义视角
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-11-07 DOI: 10.3233/epl-239007
R. Maguire, George Carter, Sangeeta Mangubhai, Bridget Lewis, Susan Gail Harris Rimmer
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was the only multilateral environmental agreement to emerge from the Earth Summit in 1992 which did not include any references to gender. Recognition of gender within the UNFCCC has been exceedingly slow and largely tokenistic with a focus on ensuring ‘gender balance’ within UNFCCC meetings and processes. This article explores the emergence of gender language within the UNFCCC by reflecting upon: where we have come from; where we are now; and where we are going with respect with gender. While there was very little progress in the early days of the UNFCCC, this article shows that from 2001 onwards there have been a series of small gains, which will be explained and critique. Much work remains to be done with this paper suggesting some concrete steps such as hosting a Gender COP, ensuring financing for National Climate Change Gender Focal Points and embedding gender meaningfully within existing climate finance processes. In recommending future actions, the paper draws on insights from the Pacific and Australian experience.
联合国气候变化框架公约》(UNFCCC)是 1992 年地球问题首脑会议上达成的唯一一项多边环境协定,其中没有提及性别问题。联合国气候变化框架公约》对性别问题的认可一直非常缓慢,而且大多是象征性的,重点是确保《联合国气候变化框架公约》会议和进程中的 "性别平衡"。本文通过反思:我们从哪里来;我们现在在哪里;以及我们在性别问题上将走向何方,来探讨性别语言在《联合国气候变化框架公约》中的出现。虽然在《联合国气候变化框架公约》的早期进展甚微,但本文指出,从 2001 年开始,已经取得了一系列微小的成果,并将对这些成果进行解释和批评。本文建议采取一些具体步骤,如主办性别问题缔约方大会、确保为国家气候变化性别问题协调中心提供资金,以及将性别问题有意义地纳入现有的气候融资进程。在建议未来行动时,本文借鉴了太平洋地区和澳大利亚的经验。

The Transition to a Circular Built Environment in Australia: An Analysis of the Jurisdictional Policy Framework 澳大利亚向循环建筑环境的过渡:司法政策框架分析

The construction industry significantly impacts the built environment throughout its lifecycle from design, construction, operation to end-of-life considerations and decisions. In Australia, the industry generates almost 3 tonnes of waste per-capita, and this is expected to increase in the near future based on past trends. This paper focuses on understanding and analysing the various jurisdictional policy frameworks across Australia to support circular transitions in the built environment. Policy and regulatory leadership can enable and support grounding circular economy practices at national and state levels. The analysis found that circular economy frameworks rely heavily on recovery and recycling of construction waste, while there is minimal focus on designing out waste. This highlights that waste elimination within the policy setting is viewed as an end-of-pipe solution of minimising waste to landfill rather than a design lead strategy. The focus on recycling within circular economy policies can led to public misconceptions about circularity, which can be a major barrier if systemic transitions are to be achieved.
建筑行业在其整个生命周期中,从设计、施工、运营到生命周期结束的考虑和决策,都会对建筑环境产生重大影响。在澳大利亚,该行业人均产生近3吨废物,根据过去的趋势,预计在不久的将来会增加。本文的重点是理解和分析澳大利亚各地的各种司法管辖区政策框架,以支持建筑环境中的循环过渡。政策和监管方面的领导可以在国家和州一级推动和支持循环经济实践的基础。分析发现,循环经济框架在很大程度上依赖于建筑垃圾的回收和再循环,而对消除垃圾的设计关注很少。这突出表明,在政策设置中消除废物被视为减少垃圾填埋的最终解决方案,而不是设计领先策略。循环经济政策中对回收的关注可能导致公众对循环的误解,如果要实现系统性转型,这可能是一个主要障碍。

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Strengthening the Legal Framework for Regulation of Wildlife and Forest Crimes in Nigeria 利用人工智能(AI)加强尼日利亚野生动物和森林犯罪监管的法律框架
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-10-20 DOI: 10.3233/epl-230011

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications and machine learning models have extended beyond merely solving computer-related problems to tackle environmental sustainability issues. One such case is countermanding the demand and supply of illegal forest and wildlife products. In Nigeria, the challenges of improving its ability to combat the high rate of wildlife and forest crimes within its borders remain daunting. Despite existing laws, Nigeria remains both a source and a key intermediary for wildlife smuggling and crimes involving protected species. This paper analyses the potential of AI as a tool for strengthening the existing legal framework on wildlife crimes in Nigeria. The findings of this paper demonstrate that the current framework for preventing forest and wildlife crime is being breached due to a lack of resources available to enforcement authorities. Thus, leveraging AI’s potential presents innovative solutions to strengthen compliance with these laws.
人工智能(AI)应用和机器学习模型已经不仅仅是解决与计算机相关的问题,而是解决环境可持续性问题。其中一个例子是取缔非法森林和野生动物产品的需求和供应。在尼日利亚,提高其打击境内高比率野生动物和森林犯罪的能力仍然是艰巨的挑战。尽管有现行法律,尼日利亚仍然是野生动物走私和涉及受保护物种的犯罪活动的来源地和主要中介。本文分析了人工智能作为加强尼日利亚现有野生动物犯罪法律框架的工具的潜力。本文的研究结果表明,由于执法当局缺乏可用的资源,目前防止森林和野生动物犯罪的框架正在被破坏。因此,利用人工智能的潜力提供了创新的解决方案,以加强对这些法律的遵守。

On Regulating Chinese Consumer Environmental Behaviour To Reduce Global Warming: Some Reflections 规制中国消费者环境行为以减缓全球变暖:几点思考
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-10-17 DOI: 10.3233/epl-230010
Feiyue Li, Vai Io Lo, Yuxing He
Low-carbon consumption is inevitable for international societies to respond to reduce global warming because it restricts the generation of carbon emissions from the consumer’s side. The consumption behaviours of Chinese consumers are identified as having high level of waste, excessive energy demand, lack of awareness and unreasonable consumption. These high-carbon consumption behaviours should be subject to effective regulatory measures imposed by the Chinese government. This article explores the current policies and practices of China in promoting low-carbon consumption and suggests the Chinese government make clearer rules and standards for the labelling and public procurement of low-carbon products and service expand low-carbon development pilot programs in China and strengthen the education of Chinese consumers.
低碳消费是国际社会应对全球变暖的必然选择,因为它限制了消费者方面碳排放的产生。中国消费者的消费行为表现为浪费程度高、能源需求过度、意识不足、消费不合理。这些高碳消费行为应该受到中国政府有效监管措施的约束。本文探讨了中国目前在促进低碳消费方面的政策和实践,建议中国政府对低碳产品和服务的标识和公共采购制定更明确的规则和标准,扩大中国低碳发展试点,加强对中国消费者的教育。

This article explores the current policies and practices of China in promoting low-carbon consumption and suggests the Chinese government make clearer rules and standards for the labelling and public procurement of low-carbon products and service expand low-carbon development pilot programs in China and strengthen the education of Chinese consumers.","PeriodicalId":52410,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Policy and Law","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135994415","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}

This article focuses on the concept of just transition, which has recently greatly expanded in the climate debate, expressing the demand to adopt and implement climate policies leading to decarbonisation in a way that maintains equity and justice. Building on previous research on the concept of just transition in other disciplines of social sciences, and on the concept’s appearance in international climate law instruments and law literature, we analyse the just transition in the field of law. We seek to clarify its conceptual framing, to define its meaning, and to determine its position and limits in law. We then examine it vertically (for each level of law) and horizontally, addressing the main criteria that define its content, i.e., human rights and legal principles.
本文关注的是公正过渡的概念,这一概念最近在气候辩论中得到了极大的扩展,表达了以保持公平和正义的方式采取和实施导致脱碳的气候政策的需求。基于以往对其他社会科学学科中公正过渡概念的研究,以及该概念在国际气候法律文书和法律文献中的出现,我们分析了法律领域中的公正过渡。我们试图澄清其概念框架,定义其含义,并确定其在法律中的地位和限制。然后,我们垂直(针对每个法律级别)和水平地检查它,解决定义其内容的主要标准,即人权和法律原则。
