Details

This book examines the challenge of negotiating and implementing new legal regimes addressing contemporary oceans challenges in the context of uncertain planetary futures.

The book covers the themes of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Contributors examine a range of emerging, understudied issues including the legal regulation of ocean acidification, the development of the mining code by the International Seabed Authority, the implementation of the 2023 Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) Agreement and compliance mechanisms developed by the International Maritime Organization. Other chapters look at energy transition and green technology and marine pollution from shipping.

Contributing to global discussions on sustainable development, this book will be of vital interest for scholars of Law of the Sea, environmental law, and sustainable development.
