Decentralization and environmental governance
Subnational governance levels play a pivotal role in biodiversity protection, as evidenced in multilevel democracies over recent decades. Yet while research on decentralization’s impact on environmental governance has expanded, it remains unclear whether granting regional authorities greater self-rule has improved biodiversity outcomes in coastal areas. To address this gap, this study employs a qualitative research design to assess Spain’s decent…
Blue Nature-Based Solutions in marine and coastal EU policies
The paper focuses on the use of Nature-based solutions (NBS) in European marine and coastal governance – also called marine or blue NBS. Such solutions appear to be promising tools to deal with interdependent challenges such as climate change adaptation, biodiversity conservation and restoration, and sustainable development. Numerous research projects have demonstrated their utility and investigated the best ways to implement them. In addition, N…
Strategic foresight analysis for the management of land-sea interface in a climate change context
The Land-Sea Interface (LSI) is a dynamic zone where terrestrial and marine ecosystems interact, supporting critical economic activities and providing essential ecological benefits. However, these areas face the multiple land- and sea-based challenges of climate change and multi-level governance fragmentation. In this context, innovative methodologies are needed to explore future scenarios and support decisions. Strategic foresight analysis has e…
Land-sea interactions in European marine governance
The recent economic development of maritime areas has led to the emergence of new approaches to marine governance in many regions. Unfortunately, the complexity of the natural and socio-economic processes that characterise the marine and coastal ecosystems is generally not sufficiently considered by the existing governance mechanisms. This explains that the inclusion of land-sea interactions (LSIs) in marine and coastal governance remains particu…
Biodiversity, multi-level governance, and policy implementation in Europe
International efforts to protect biodiversity date back to the 1970s. The effectiveness of Multilateral Environmental Agreements and regional legal instruments has been influenced by national implementation. In this process, subnational governance plays a crucial role. Although policy implementation has been extensively investigated, its subnational dimension has been somewhat neglected, particularly in peripheral areas such as the Outermost Regi…
Biodiversity policy and subnational implementation in the remote regions of France
Biological diversity in the marine and coastal environment is declining globally. Several layers of governance intertwine in the regulation of biodiversity with multiple strains of policy developments taking place at the international, national and subnational levels. In particular, the subnational level of governance has become crucial in the implementation of biodiversity protection. The article aims at better understanding how governance mecha…
Fishermen migration in Africa
During pre-colonial times, the establishment of settlements on the African continent was carried out by population movements in ‘oil stain’, often resulting from the movement of traders over long d
Governing plastic pollution in the oceans
International Agreements and the Salience of Domestic Politics
International environmental agreements aim at orienting national policies towards the promotion of more sustainable behaviors by national actors. However, international agreements can affect national policies only if states are willing and capable of incorporating international obligations into their national legislations (enactment) and ensuring their application (or execution) and enforcement. The article analyzes the domestic implementation of…
