Supporting or sabotaging sustainable development? State policy responses to environmental certification schemes.

几乎在任何地方，森林和渔业都在经历退化和生物多样性丧失。自1990年以来，各国政府、工业界和民间社会组织对以市场为基础的环境可持续发展工具的兴趣与日俱增。然而，尽管各国总体上支持使用基于市场的工具，但具体计划出现了严重的问题。环境认证计划尤其如此，其中几项计划遭到了反对。我们的研究将探索影响政府对林业和渔业部门认证计划做出反应的潜在因素，从而提供切实的政策建议，以确保国家机构支持而不是破坏环境可持续发展。

Almost everywhere, forests and fisheries are experiencing degradation and biodiversity loss. Since 1990, governments, industry and civil society organizations have expressed growing interest in market-based instruments for environmentally sustainable development. However, while states support the use of market-based instruments in general, serious problems arise with specific schemes. This is particular true of environmental certification schemes, several of which have been opposed. Our study will explore the underlying factors that shape government responses to certification schemes in the forestry and fisheries sectors, thereby providing practical policy advice to ensure state institutions support rather than sabotage environmentally sustainable development.
