Seminar 20. juni 2016: Bærekraftsmålene og fragmentert miljølovgivning – marine perspektiver

The effects of fragmented environmental law on sustainable development – Marine perspectives

Date: Monday June 20th 2016
Location: Oslo Science Park, Gaustadalléen 21, 0349 Oslo

Fragmented environmental legislation, vertical and horizontal inconsistencies, and a weak rule of law highly affect our pathway towards a sustainable development of our marine resources and environment. This concern has been raised globally in the process towards the new global Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and some solutions proposed in SDG 14 – Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources. On the EU level the Marine Strategy Framework Directive is an attempt to ensure larger consistency in environmental law for European seas, building upon the parallel EU Water Framework Directive. Yet for a number of sectors, such as aquaculture, fragmented law and governance still pose considerable challenges.

This side event of the IUCN Academy of Environmental Law Colloquium 2016, organized as a seminar, will gather experts to discuss the effects of fragmented environmental law, to share experiences from different areas of marine and coastal environmental and natural resources law and from selected European countries, and to discuss potential avenues to tackle identified challenges. The seminar is organized in conjunction with the release of a book published by Routledge in May 2016, entitled ‘Environmental Law and the Ecosystem Approach: Maintaining Ecological Integrity through Consistency in Law’ by Froukje M Platjouw, alumni of Univ. of Oslo, currently at the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA).

The seminar is co-funded by the Norwegian National Comission for UNESCO and the EU H2020 TAPAS Project.

The seminar is free of charge and open to the public. Please register here by 13 June
