This article endeavours to contribute the growing body of scholarship on SDG linkages by placing at centre its focus 14 “conservation and sustainable use oceans, seas marine resources for development.” conceptualises intricate interconnections between other Goals based diverse benefits provided humankind ecosystems (in words, through an ecosystem services lens). It explores how this understanding may facilitate transition “environment well-being” approach development spatial planning (MSP),...
Abstract A growing body of critical social-scientific scholarship addresses the implications marine spatial planning for those who depend on ocean their livelihood, sustenance, well-being and cultural survival. Of particular concern are initiatives that construct space in ways negate or contradict its materiality, latter holding great significance how different actors relate to ocean. In response, scholars turning towards relational conceptualisations space, focusing relationships between...
This article analyses the interplay between inter-State obligations to increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14.a, a view contributing enhanced implementation of international law sea (SDG 14.c), providing access for small-scale artisanal fishers resources 14.b). It proposes do so by relying not only on sea, but also biodiversity (particularly Convention Biological Diversity) human rights...
Abstract After drawing attention to the crucial role of marine biodiversity, including that deep-sea ecosystems, in current scientific understanding ocean-climate nexus, this article highlights limited extent which international climate change regime has so far addressed ocean. The focus then shifts how could contribute protection biodiversity as part mitigation, adaptation and finance, taking into account human rights impacts standards, a comparison with REDD +. concludes an original...

Despite the oceans’ incontrovertible contribution to realisation of sustainable development, importance assigned by Millennium Development Goals conservation and use marine resources was marginal. The adoption a stand-alone Sustainable Goal on oceans (SDG 14) thus represents an important paradigm shift, insofar as it attempts tackle some most intensely debated issues with relevance environmental protection. However, SDG 14 remains one least well-integrated components Agenda 2030, revolving...
This article takes as its point of departure a view Europe’s marine environment complex ‘Anthropocene seas’ situated within an ocean’. framing suggests epistemologically pluralistic approach to governance. For part, environmental law can both facilitate and undermine efforts bring such life. The explores this duality in two steps. First, it interrogates the role European Union (EU) shaping processes knowledge production use. It finds that instruments question promote singular – and,...
