Global Commons, Domestic Decisions
Climate Change Regionalism in North America
Global institutions and debates about climate change governance attract considerable academic and media attention. The main multilateral forums are arenas for high-profile political negotiations, inter-state conflicts, and thousands of nongovernmental actors. Similarly, national climate change politics and policy are significant to decision makers and scholars, and local and urban climate change activism and planning also draw notable interest. H…

Canadian-U.S. Environmental Cooperation
Introduction Canadian-U.S. environmental relations manifest a growing importance of transborder state and provincial cooperation and policy-making. (2) This trend is clear in American climate change action. Though the Canadian and American federal governments have adopted diverging positions on climate change policy, extensive sub-national climate change action across the Canadian-U.S. border is developing in northeast America. In this region, Ca…
Baltic Sea Hazardous Substances Management
The introduction into the Baltic Sea of hazardous substances that are persistent, bioaccumulate, and are toxic is an important environmental and human health problem. Multilateral efforts to address this problem have primarily been taken under the Helsinki Commission (HELCOM). This article examines past HELCOM efforts on hazardous substances, and discusses future challenges regarding their management. The article finds that past actions on hazard…

All talk, little action
Eckley and Henrik Selin ABSTRACT The European Union has chosen the precautionary principle as a key guiding principle to achieve more effective policy-making on risks, by moving away from preventive regulation towards more precautionary regulation. Precaution-ary language has been a part of European Community law for over a decade; however, whether its establishment has had any real effect on European policy-making and regulations is more unclear…
Illustrating the coupled human–environment system for vulnerability analysis
The vulnerability framework of the Research and Assessment Systems for Sustainability Program explicitly recognizes the coupled human–environment system and accounts for interactions in the coupling affecting the system's responses to hazards and its vulnerability. This paper illustrates the usefulness of the vulnerability framework through three case studies: the tropical southern Yucatán, the arid Yaqui Valley of northwest Mexico, and the pan-A…
