International and Comparative Study on the Future Framework ofClimate Change

由于未来的框架协议需要明确气候变化法律原则的含义，我向国际法协会提交了两份关于“气候变化法律原则”的报告。报告还揭示，除“温室气体”以外的污染物也会产生温室效应，这些污染物不受气候变化条约的管制。由于气候变化问题与跨界空气污染和臭氧消耗密切相关，我向联合国国际法委员会提出并提交了初步报告，将气候变化问题更全面地纳入保护“大气”的框架。

Since it is necessary for the future framework agreement to clarifymeanings of legal principles on climate change, I submitted two reports on “the LegalPrinciples relating to Climate Change” to the International Law Association (ILA).It alsorevealed that contaminants other than “greenhouse gases”, which are not regulated bytreaties on climate change, have greenhouse effects too. Since they are intimately related totransboundary air pollution and ozone depletion, I proposed and submitted preliminaryreport to the UN International Law Commission that the problem on climate change mustbe subsumed more comprehensivelyinto the framework of the protection of “atmosphere”.
