Harnessing the oceans to combat climate change: Developing law and policy frameworks for ocean energy and climate change mitigation

澳大利亚政府的一个主要政策目标是应对气候变化对澳大利亚经济、自然资源和国家安全的不利影响。该项目将分析目前的国际和澳大利亚法律的和政策框架是否足以为海洋能源活动和基于海洋的气候变化减缓活动规定监管原则，既保护和维护海洋环境及其资源免受不利影响，又公平地顾及海洋的其他用途。将分析澳大利亚监管这些活动的立法办法，以查明监管方面的差距和为加强澳大利亚的监管框架而制定的备选办法。

A major policy objective of the Australian Government is to address the adverse effects of climate change on the Australian economy, natural resources and national security. This project will analyse the adequacy of the current international and Australian legal and policy frameworks to prescribe regulatory principles for ocean energy activities and ocean based climate change mitigation activities which both protect and preserve the marine environment and its resources from adverse impacts and equitably accommodate other uses of the ocean. Australian legislative approaches to regulating these activities will be analysed to identify regulatory gaps and options developed to enhance Australia's regulatory framework.
