International legal regulation of marine plastic pollution: basic theories, specific issues, and China’s responses
Marine plastic pollution (MPP) presents a critical, globally shared environmental challenge demanding robust international legal frameworks. While existing conventions like UNCLOS offer some regulation, a fully developed framework remains elusive. This analysis explores fundamental theories guiding MPP governance, identifying key limitations including compliance gaps and treaty negotiation complexities. We highlight unresolved issues and propose a holistic approach, emphasizing enhanced domestic laws and strengthened international cooperation—an approach China can model.
Synergy between law and policy: a research on the construction of a multi-stakeholder collaborative governance model for marine blue carbon in China
China’s commitment to its “dual carbon” strategy necessitates robust marine blue carbon governance, a critical green productivity driver. Recent legislative developments, including the Ecological Environmental Code, establish a foundational legal framework. However, specialized regulations remain insufficient, creating bottlenecks in conservation efforts. This research, examining both legal and policy perspectives, identifies key challenges and proposes a collaborative governance model—enhancing legislation, empowering market mechanisms, and integrating regulations—to optimize China’s approach and offer valuable global insights.
Comparative legal framework for marine plastic pollution control in China and Pakistan
