“…UNFCCC, the Kyoto Protocol ("KP") and the Paris Agreement ("PA") are now widely considered as the foundational legal treaties of multilateral regime on climate change. These different treaties each come with their own benefits and challenges, but overall, they form a comprehensive approach towards combating climate change [2]. Many scholars have argued that UNFCCC merely expresses the common objectives of the parties, leaving specific rights and obligations to be determined by the states themselves, and therefore the text of the Convention does not create specific obligations [3].…”

Integrating Climate Change into the Law of the Sea Convention: An Examination of Feasibility

The imperative to tackle climate change and its far-reaching consequences on both the environment and humanity is unquestionable. The Commission of Small Island States on Climate Change sent a request to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, with a proposition to integrate climate change into the regulation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. This proposition seeks to mandate state parties under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to protect and preserve the marine environment from climate change impacts. This paper critically engages with the shortcomings of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change framework and explores the question of whether greenhouse gases meet the definition of pollution of the marine environment and further scrutinizes whether Part XII of the Convention should be revised to extend its regulation over climate change.

In this paper, the dynamic combined economic environmental dispatch problems (DCEED) with variable real transmission losses are tackled using four metaheuristics techniques. Due to the consideration of the valve-point loading effects (VPE), DCEED have become a non-smooth and more complex optimization problem. The seagull optimization algorithm (SOA), crow search algorithm (CSA), tunicate swarm algorithm (TSA), and firefly algorithm (FFA), as both nature and biologic phenomena-based algorithms, are investigated to solve DCEED problems. Our proposed algorithms, SOA, TSA, and FFA, were evaluated and applied on the IEEE five-unit test system, and the effectiveness of the proposed CSA approach was applied on two-unit, five-unit, and ten-unit systems by considering VPE. We defined CSA for different objective functions, such as cost of production, emission, and CEED, by considering VPE. The obtained results reveal the efficiency and robustness of the CSA compared to SOA, TSA, FFA, and to other optimization algorithms reported recently in the literature. In addition, Matlab simulation results show the advantages of the proposed approaches for solving DCEED problems.

“…The general methodology for ranking mitigation technology options is an MCDA, as recommended in the TNA step-by-step guide (Haselip et al 2015 ). In this type of analysis, each technology is evaluated by experts on a set of criteria, which are defined and weighted by consensus among stakeholders, national consultants, and the NPC.…”

“…Yet, the success of such cooperation mechanisms requires a tailored process which considers the specificities of the technology as well as the national circumstances (Sagar 2009 ; Pandey et al 2022 ). Hence, many authors argue for the need for bottom-up country-driven approaches in climate technology cooperation processes, led by the demands of the recipient country (Liu and Liang 2011 ; Boldt et al 2012 ; Boyd 2012 ; de Coninck and Puig 2015 ; Ockwell and Byrne 2016 ; Puig et al 2018 ; Prasad and Sud 2021 ).…”

Technological development is key for national strategies to cope with the Paris Agreement’s goals. Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs) aim to identify, prioritize, and diffuse climate change mitigation and/or adaptation technologies in developing countries. Their methodology includes a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) framework but, although many countries already conducted a TNA, literature lacks discussions on country-specific processes for a TNA, as it usually follows a one-size-fits-all approach. This paper provides empirical evidence on the importance of country-driven processes that help shaping international programmes into country-specific needs and capabilities. It presents lessons learned from a tailored process for identification, prioritization, and selection of mitigation technologies in the scope of a TNA project for Brazil, an exceptional case of a developing country with strong capacity in integrated assessment modelling (IAM) scenarios for guiding its climate strategies. A previous IAM scenario result allowed pre-selecting technologies in six key economic sectors, while other TNAs prioritized no more than three. This allowed the elaboration of an overall ranking from the MCDA, in contrast to sectoral rankings that are mostly employed in other countries’ TNAs. The overall ranking serves not only as a basis for the selection of priority technologies but also provides information on the integrated innovations framework for climate technologies in the country. Further specific findings of the tailored Brazilian TNA approach are discussed in the paper in order to call for the importance that a technology transfer project should not only be country-driven but also conducted through a country-specific process.
