随着南极洲周围的海冰收缩，一个巨大的“蓝碳”汇，以生物量的形式出现。妥善保护和推广南极蓝碳，将对气候变化形成世界上最大的自然负反馈。然而，实现这一承诺可能是具有挑战性的，考虑到该地区的独特性和法律的制度，管理it. In这个跨学科的研究，我们解释：南极蓝碳的全球意义，国际碳减排努力，迫切需要国际法律的保护的地区正在出现，以及需要克服的障碍，以实现这些目标。为了推动保护工作克服政治障碍，我们建议制定一个跨文书的治理框架，量化南极蓝碳的封存价值，并将其归因于各国在2015年《巴黎协定》下的气候减缓承诺。关键政策见解南极海岸线周围出现的蓝碳可能储存多达16万，蓝碳将出现在生物量丰富的地区，使其容易受到收获和其他人类活动的影响;必须鼓励保护，而不是商业开发南大洋新的无冰区。南极蓝碳是建立合作的实际和主要候选者，工具间、非市场缓解;这应该在西班牙举行的“蓝色缔约方会议”联合国气候变化讨论中考虑。允许南极捕鱼国通过非《巴黎协定》下的市场办法可以为《南极条约》制度下的保护提供至关重要的激励。南极研究科学委员会将是这是促进相关气候和南极治理制度之间必要联系的理想机构。
As marine-ice around Antarctica retracts, a vast ‘blue carbon’ sink, in the form of living biomass, is emerging. Properly protected and promoted Antarctic blue carbon will form the world’s largest natural negative feedback on climate change. However, fulfilling this promise may be challenging, given the uniqueness of the region and the legal systems that govern it. In this interdisciplinary study, we explain: the global significance of Antarctic blue carbon to international carbon mitigation efforts; the urgent need for international legal protections for areas where it is emerging; and the hurdles that need to be overcome to realize those goals. In order to progress conservation efforts past political blockages we recommend the development of an inter-instrument governance framework that quantifies the sequestration value of Antarctic blue carbon for attribution to states’ climate mitigation commitments under the 2015 Paris Agreement.Key policy insightsBlue-carbon emergence around Antarctica’s coastlines will potentially store up to 160,000,000 tonnes of carbon annually.Blue-carbon will emerge in areas of rich biomass that will make it vulnerable to harvesting and other human activities; it is essential to incentivise conserving, rather than commercial exploitation of newly ice-free areas of the Southern Ocean.Antarctic blue carbon is a practical and prime candidate to build a cooperative, inter-instrument, non-market mitigation around; this should be considered at the ‘blue COP’ UN Climate change discussions in Spain.Allowing Antarctic fishing states to account for the carbon storage value of blue carbon zones through a non-market approach under the Paris Agreement could provide a vital incentive to their protection under the Antarctic Treaty System.The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research would be the ideal body to facilitate the necessary connections between the relevant climate and Antarctic governance regimes.
