可持续发展战略与我国环境资源立法的完善

可持续发展战略是联合国环境与发展大会确定的未来共同发展战略。我国《中国21世纪议程——中国21世纪人口、环境与发展白皮书》提出了可持续发展战略、对策及行动方案。我国虽然在环境资源方面立法基本建立了环境与资源法的法律体系,但是尚缺将可持续发展作为环境与资源立法的指导思想。因此本文针对目前我国环境与资源及立法存在的实际问题,提出以可持续发展作为环境与资源立法的指导思想,修改我国《宪法》、《环境保护法》及有关环境与资源的法律、法规,制订统一《自然资源保护法》、《环境污染税法》、《环境保护投资法》及《环境与资源教育法》,完善我国环境与资源立法体制。     

试论拯救环境危机的多维视角

人类的活动已经破坏了自己赖以生存的自然条件,使整个地球陷入了资源枯竭和环境污染的危机。人类限制自己危害环境活动的途径,除了要在观念和意识上引起重视而外,还要通过法律和行政制度的强制力来约束人的行为,同时还应该在构建共同的生态环境伦理方面通力合作,共同参与,为人类共同的未来做出自己的努力。

Strengthening Green Global Governance in a Disparate World SocietyWould a World Environment Organisation Benefit the South?

The debate on the advantages and disadvantages of upgrading the United Nations Environment Programme to a 'world environment organisation' (WEO) has gained momentum in both academe and politics. This article contends that a WEO would further the interests especially of developing countries, because it would provide them, first, a high-level forum to unite their individual bargaining power against the major industrialised countries. Second, a WEO would assist Southern efforts to garner international support for environmental programmes in regions and sectors that are increasingly bypassed by economic globalisation. Third, a WEO would create a locus to politically institutionalise the influence of non-governmental lobbyists in a way that increases the balance of opinions and perspectives. The article then addresses special challenges and caveats for developing countries in the upcoming negotiation process, in particular whether an upgraded UNEP would address only 'global' issues, thus absolving the international community from assisting developing countries in mitigating the more pressing local environmental issues in the South; whether the new body would have powerful sanctioning mechanisms, which might disproportionally affect developing countries; and what decision-making procedures the new body would have.

A confluence of Fair Trade and organic agriculture in southern India

Although the confluence of Fair Trade and organic agriculture has become a salient phenomenon, they contradict each other at the production level: Fair Trade focuses on specific products, while organic agriculture targets production units. This article explores how Southern small-scale producers cope with this discrepancy, by observing one farmers' group's attempt to obtain the two certifications in India. This case study identifies stakeholders who react to the two certifications differently under different livelihood strategies. Combining the two initiatives may not always be the best practice for realising poverty reduction and environmental conservation –aims which the initiatives have in common.     

Digital technology uses for sustainable management of natural resources in multicultural contexts

This article questions the notion that the use of digital technologies guarantees better policy development for the sustainable management of natural resources, particularly in multicultural contexts. It is argued that input of digital technologies could positively or negatively affect the geopolitical projects and development strategies pursued by indigenous peoples.
