Validating transboundary risk: a fuzzy framework for blue carbon policy shocks
Unilateral marine policy decisions in one coastal state generate risks that cascade across political, economic, industrial, and environmental channels into neighboring blue carbon systems, yet no single assessment tool captures this transboundary complexity. This study's Cross-Domain Risk Management Procedure fills that gap, revealing that geopolitical contestation nearly matches direct environmental contamination in severity. The framework is calibrated through 114 respondents and applied to Japan's Fukushima wastewater discharge.
Charting a Course: Green Shipping Corridors Amid Global Tensions
Maritime shipping generates roughly 2.9% of global greenhouse-gas emissions, and green shipping corridors are emerging as targeted experiments in route-specific decarbonization. This paper examines a critical question: how do stakeholders sustain cooperation on a zero-emission corridor when geopolitical tensions threaten to derail progress? Focusing on the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Shanghai corridor from 2022 to 2025, the analysis introduces two concepts, institutional insulation and negotiated gradualism, that explain how bounded technical workstreams and mutual commercial interest keep collaboration alive.
