Border Adjustment

This chapter examines, from a multidisciplinary perspective, plausible hypotheses for implementation of border carbon adjustment mechanisms, seen as a complement to strong environmental regulation. It highlights economic, legal, and political difficulties raised by border carbon adjustments. After thoroughly reviewing their economic practicability, it analyses these mechanisms from an International Trade Law perspective, particularly vis-à-vis the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, sustainable development, and the principle of shared but differentiated responsibilities. It concludes with an assessment of policy-related implications of such mechanisms and outlines, in particular, how border carbon adjustments may be used as an engine of economic and energy transition, for developed and developing countries equally.

Group Inequality

In this paper, inequality of global distribution of CO2 emissions by sector is studied across the regions considered by the UNDP in the year 2009. Firstly, the research is carried out using the Theil-Bourguignon inequality index which can be decomposed into the within-group  and  the  between-group  inequality  components.  The  greatest inequality in CO2 emissions by sector occurs in regions that are formed by poor or developing countries. The results show also that the within-group inequality component is the main contributor to the whole inequality value. Secondly, the study is completed using the family of Generalized Entropy indexes, where the within-group inequality component is the main contributor to the whole inequality value too.

This chapter examines the environmental regulation of freshwater in both developed and developing countries. It first provides a historical background on the evolution of legal systems in developed and developing countries to address water pollution, including the emergence of the construct ‘normative river’, before discussing three water conservation regimes: the regulation of waste discharges into streams and lakes; the establishment of minimum or base flows in streams and levels in lakes; and the protection of wetlands connected to surface water bodies from loss through conversion to non-wetland cultivated or developed land. The basic instruments used in water pollution control are considered, along with national versus international regulation of waste stream discharges, reduction of effluent discharges, the growing recognition of environmental flows in national and international law, and the principle of equitable and reasonable utilization. The chapter concludes with an analysis of trends in the environmental regulation of freshwater.
