Book Description

The regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from inteational aviation and maritime transport has proved to be a difficult task for inteational climate negotiations such as the Paris Agreement in 2015. Almost two decades prior, Article 2.2 of the Kyoto Protocol excluded emissions from inteational aviation and maritime transport from its targets, delegating the negotiation of sector-specific regulations to the Inteational Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Inteational Maritime Organization (IMO), respectively. However, progress at these venues has also been limited. Regime Interaction and Climate Change maps out the legal frameworks in the Climate, ICAO and IMO regimes, and explores the law-making process for the regulation of inteational aviation and maritime transport through the lenses of fragmentation of inteational law and regime interaction. The book sheds light on how interaction between these three regimes occurs, what the consequences of such interaction are and how they can be managed to resolve conflicts and promote synergies. This book will be of great interest to scholars of inteational environmental law and goveance, climate change policy and climate change law.
