Details

This timely Companion explores the opportunities and challenges of ocean governance within the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Experts from around the world investigate pathways to attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the ocean, specifically SDG 14 which recognises the importance of a healthy ocean for our planet''s future.

Examining legal, institutional, and organisational structures and processes, the Companion emphasises that achieving ocean sustainability necessitates overcoming intricate governance challenges at the intersection of regulating and managing human activities and conserving marine ecosystems. Combining scientific research and practical real-world experience, the Companion provides key knowledge-based analysis and recommendations targeted at increasing action toward a sustainable future.

The Elgar Companion to Ocean Governance and the Sustainable Development Goals is an essential resource for students and academics with an interest in ocean governance and policy across a variety of disciplines, including environmental studies, geography, marine social sciences, science and technology studies, political science and law. It is also a valuable guide for practitioners and policymakers involved in charting pathways towards meaningful sustainability transformations in ocean governance.
