This book analyses the status and prospects of the global governance of Access Benefit Sharing (ABS) in the aftermath of 2010 s Nagoya Protocol to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The CBD s initial 1992 framework of global ABS governance established the objective of sharing the benefits arising from the use of genetic resources fairly between countries and communities. Since then, ABS has been a contested issue in international politics not least due to the failure of effective implementation of the original CBD framework. The Nagoya Protocol therefore aims to improve and...

The experience of environmental governance is approached in "Improving Global Environmental Governance "from the unique perspective of actor configuration and embedded networks of actors, which are areas of emerging importance. The chapters look at existing Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) and the broader constellation of partially networked institutions to better understand the involvement of individual actors and how to deepen the networks that include them to generate more effective governance.
The book covers a wide range of issued pertaining to environmental governance...

Climate change is a global challenge that cuts across all aspects of our society and deliberations over how much, and in what way, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) should be reduced are still at the core of international climate negotiations. However, GHG emissions resulting from the use of international bunker fuels (IBF) in the international aviation and maritime industries have remained mostly unregulated. Article 2.2 of the Kyoto Protocol excluded both of these sectors from its targets, delegating to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Civil Aviation...

Multilateral negotiations on worldwide challenges have grown in importance with rising global interdependence. Yet, they have recently proven slow to address these challenges successfully. This book discusses the questions which have arisen from the highly varying results of recent multilateral attempts to reach cooperation on some of the critical global challenges of our times. These include the long-awaited UN climate change summit in Copenhagen, which ended without official agreement in 2009; Cancun one year later, attaining at least moderate tangible results; the first salient trade...

Grassroots movements can pose serious challenges to both governments and corporations. However, grassroots actors possess a variety of motivations, and their visions of development may evolve in complex ways. Meanwhile, their relative powerlessness obliges them to forge an array of shifting alliances and to devise a range of adaptive strategies.
Grassroots Environmental Governance presents a compilation of in-depth ethnographic case studies, based on original research. Each of the chapters focuses specifically on grassroots engagements with the agents of various forms of...

How can a divided world share a single planet? As the environment rises ever higher on the global agenda, the discipline of International Relations (IR) is engaging in more varied and transformative ways than ever before to overcome environmental challenges.
Focusing in particular on the key trends of the past twenty years, this volumeexplores the main developments in the global environmental crisis, with each chapter considering an environmental issue and an approach within IR. In the process, adjacent fields including energy politics, science and technology and...

In the past few years, numerous authors have highlighted the emergence of transnational climate initiatives, such as city networks, private certification schemes, and business self-regulation in the policy domain of climate change. While these transnational governance arrangements can surely contribute to solving the problem of climate change, their development by different types of sub- and non-state actors does not imply a weakening of the intergovernmental level. On the contrary, many transnational climate initiatives use the international climate regime as a point of reference and have...
