The legal systems for ocean governance and climate change governance are based on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, respectively. However, due to differences in their negotiation backgrounds, legal scope, goals, and tasks, there is a lack of interaction between the two at the legal system level. The ocean plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth’s climate system, yet its value is often underestimated in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in addressing climate change. Specifically, we will examine the Convention’s ability to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and identify areas where it falls short, such as inadequate regulation of sea level rise, ocean acidification, and ocean fertilization. Based on this, proposals for governance paths from the perspective of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea include developing the Agreement relating to the climate change and ocean governance and reinterpreting the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in accordance with the Paris Agreement. The content should be adapted more flexibly to current climate change challenges, and provisions related to sea level rise and maritime boundaries should be reinterpreted to fill legal gaps. In addition, it is important to establish coordinated regulatory rules and framework agreements to address the issues of ocean fertilization and ocean acidification. Finally, to remedy the shortcomings in proving causation, scientific theories and due diligence obligations should be attributed. Through these measures, effective ocean law governance paths that address climate change can be explored.

海洋法应对气候变化的治理路径研究



海洋治理和气候变化治理的法律体系分别以《联合国海洋法公约》和《联合国气候变化框架公约》为基础。但由于双方谈判背景、法律范围、目标和任务的差异,两者在法律制度层面缺乏互动。海洋在调节地球气候系统方面发挥着至关重要的作用,但其价值在《联合国气候变化框架公约》中却常常被低估。本研究的目的是分析《联合国海洋法公约》在应对气候变化方面的有效性。具体来说,我们将审查《公约》减缓和适应气候变化的能力,并找出其不足之处,例如对海平面上升、海洋酸化和海洋肥化的监管不足。在此基础上,《联合国海洋法公约》视角下的治理路径建议包括制定《气候变化和海洋治理协定》、根据《联合国海洋法公约》重新解释《联合国海洋法公约》。巴黎协定。内容应更灵活地适应当前的气候变化挑战,有关海平面上升和海洋边界的规定应重新解释,以填补法律空白。此外,还必须建立协调一致的监管规则和框架协议来解决海洋肥化和海洋酸化问题。最后,要弥补因果关系证明方面的不足,应赋予科学理论和尽职义务。 通过这些措施,可以探索应对气候变化的有效海洋法治理路径。
