Should we regulate forests through free trade agreements? Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-08-18 Tamara Grigoras
The international forest regime—if there ever was such a thing—traditionally developed on the fringes of various environmental treaty regimes. In recent years, however, the regime’s boundaries have conquered new, historically hostile territories. The last two decades have indeed witnessed the emergence, and then proliferation, of a new generation of free trade agreements that incorporate commitments

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the centre of the global policy response to climate change. The Paris Agreement, a legally binding treaty under the UNFCCC, has located climate change adaptation as a critical component of the global response to climate change. The Paris Agreement also establishes an enhanced transparency framework to track progress towards Parties

Reconciling Ireland’s climate ambitions with climate policy and practice: challenges, contradictions and barriers Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-28 Amanda Slevin, John Barry
Often perceived as a green nation, Ireland’s climate action reputation ranges from being regarded as a climate ‘laggard’ to being applauded as one of the first states to introduce supply-side ‘keep it in the ground’ (KIIG) legislation. In line with UNFCCC and IPCC advice, Ireland has committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 51% by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050. However such ambitions

“Climate Bailout”: a new tool for central banks to limit the financial risk resulting from climate change Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-26 Matthias Kroll, Kjell Kühne
To achieve the climate goals of the Paris Agreement, the bulk of identified fossil fuel resources cannot be burned and have to stay in the ground. This fact leads to a situation where a significant part of the fossil fuels already recorded in company balance sheets will become stranded assets in the near future. Since 2015, central banks have identified climate change as a large risk for financial

What next for supply-side policy in the south: emerging lessons from Ecuador’s Yasuní initiative Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-19 Pedro Alarcón
In the light (or in the darkness) of the current climate and energy crises, a future in which the extraction of carbon-based fuels is phased down sounds less utopian, though still an upward struggle in an international context shaped by mainstream technoeconomic narratives. Concepts like "unburnable carbon," or the idea that fossil fuel reserves would need to remain under the ground in order to comply

Investment law v. supply-side climate policies: insights from Rockhopper v. Italy and Lone Pine v. Canada Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-01-17 Alessandra Arcuri, Kyla Tienhaara, Lorenzo Pellegrini
New fossil fuel developments are inconsistent with keeping global warming below 1.5 °C, and while most climate policies focus on reducing demand for fossil fuels, an emerging transversal consensus promotes efforts to simultaneously reduce supply. In this article, we discuss the obstacles to effective supply-side climate policies posed by international investment treaties that protect corporations against

The treaty management organization established under the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement: an international actor in its own right? Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-07-01 Thomas Gehring, Linda Spielmann
A peculiar treaty management organization operates under the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement that does not fit established categories of international law and political science. Unlike traditional international organizations (IOs), it lacks the formal status of an IO, comprises only a limited secretariat with predominantly servicing functions, and is not even denominated as an organization. We argue

Progression requirements applicable to state action on climate change mitigation under Nationally Determined Contributions Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-07-01 Benoit Mayer
The Paris Agreement reflects an expectation that each party’s action on climate change mitigation should progress with the adoption of successive Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). This article assesses the legal force and effectiveness of such requirements on progression in a state’s overall ambition on climate change mitigation. First, it identifies legal requirements through a legal analysis

Inclusive development, leaving no one behind, justice and the sustainable development goals Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-06-23 Joyeeta Gupta, Courtney Vegelin
The focus on inclusive development within the 2030 Agenda highlights the contradiction between an inherent ‘business-as-usual’ approach subject to a few restrictions and a radical reformation of the global system. Inclusive development is elaborated through the idea of leaving no one behind, a human rights and a justice approach. Against this background, this perspective argues that there is need for

Inspiration from the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework for SDG 15 Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-06-21 Ina Lehmann
With the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, countries worldwide have committed to a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030. Among them is SDG 15, known as Life on Land. What makes this SDG special is that several of its targets had been scheduled for completion by 2020– raising the question what should happen to these targets after 2020 as they have not yet been achieved. With

Strengthening reflexive governance to achieve the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-06-17 Casey Stevens
Reflexive governance, or governance institutions which include questioning of governance goals and tools from diverse perspectives, is a key part of transformative governance for sustainability. While the structure of the Sustainable Development Goals have plenty of opportunities for such reflexive governance, to date it has not figured centrally in the discussions. This article argues that reflexive

Can democracy accelerate sustainability transformations? Policy coherence for participatory co-existence Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-06-15 Jonathan Pickering
The 2030 Agenda envisages a world “in which democracy, good governance and the rule of law […] are essential for sustainable development” (Transforming our world: The 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, 2015, paragraph 9). However, the extent to which democratic practices can help or hinder sustainable development remains contested. I show how the relationship between democracy and environmental

The sustainable development goals: governing by goals, targets and indicators Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-06-12 Graham Long, Jecel Censoro, Katharina Rietig
How do the goals, targets and indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as governance instruments in efforts to achieve the SDGs by 2030? This perspective addresses this question in three sections. First, it develops an account of how we should understand governance for the SDGs that highlights the role of targets and indicators, but also institutions and norms, in this model of

How best to incorporate conjunctive water management into international water law: legal amendment, instrument coupling, or new protocol adoption? Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-06-02 Imad Antoine Ibrahim, Jonathan Lautze
International water conventions—e.g., the 1997 United Nations Convention on the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses—include positive but insufficient focus on groundwater and its interaction with surface water. As such, a growing body of literature has proposed modifications to existing frameworks to enable consideration to surface and groundwater and their interactions. While this

Strengthening the Sustainable Development Goals through integration with human rights Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-06-02 Magdalena Bexell, Thomas Hickmann, Andrea Schapper
This paper discusses the relationship between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the long-standing human rights system of the United Nations. Thematically, these two modes of global governance strongly overlap. Several SDGs are in line with human rights obligations. At the same time, the SDGs and human rights are based on divergent logics and constructed very differently. After capturing

The SDGs and fossil fuel subsidy reform Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-05-12 Harro van Asselt
This short perspective asks what is the role—and added value—of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their associated institutional structures in the international governance of fossil fuel subsidies and their reform? It argues that whilst some progress has been made, notably through developing a methodology to define and measure fossil fuel subsidies, countries have only to a very limited

Following the 2009 EU Renewable Energy Directive, Finland, Norway and Sweden have overachieved their 10% renewable transport fuel obligations by 2020, mainly by increasing biofuel consumption. This seems puzzling from explanatory perspectives focused on EU adaptation pressure and changes in domestic politics. These perspectives can partly explain implementation, but the policy context—actual and potential

The “top-down” Kyoto Protocol? Exploring caricature and misrepresentation in literature on global climate change governance Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2022-05-28 Joanna Depledge
The literature on global climate change governance frequently refers to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol as a “top-down” instrument, often in unfavourable comparison with the 2015 Paris Agreement, described as “bottom-up”. However, the meaning ascribed to “top-down” is often left undefined, contributing to a surprisingly widespread misunderstanding that the Kyoto Protocol, and in particular its emission targets

Designed to be stable: international environmental agreements revisited Int. Environ. Agreements (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2022-04-15 Nahid Masoudi
In a three-stage game, we revisit the non-cooperative coalition approaches into international environmental agreements by tackling a fundamental design flaw in these approaches. We show how a treaty can effectively remove the free-riding problem from its roots by farsightedly choosing its members’ emissions. We prove that under this approach, the grand coalition is a self-enforcing equilibrium. We
