  • Arctic and Mediterranean: new assets for energy security and strategic balances

    La Comunità Internazionale

    The Mediterranean region and the Arctic region are two areas located far away from each other. Nevertheless, they have many elements in common and both regions influence wider geopolitical, geo-economic and geo-strategic dynamics. Both predominantly maritime theaters surrounded by land, both regions share the uniqueness of connecting three different continents, being “bridges” among areas very different to each other but strongly interdependent.

    The Mediterranean region and the Arctic region are two areas located far away from each other. Nevertheless, they have many elements in common and both regions influence wider geopolitical, geo-economic and geo-strategic dynamics. Both predominantly maritime theaters surrounded by land, both regions share the uniqueness of connecting three different continents, being “bridges” among areas very different to each other but strongly interdependent. The interdependence between the Mediterranean and the Arctic is not always evident, nor even perceived by the majority of the public opinion, nor by the decision-makers in the respective regions. However, recent evolutions related to climate change in both regions and the geopolitical dynamics we have been experiencing, have brought to the need for a broader and deeper understanding of the links and interconnections between these two areas.

  • The Dangerous Absence of Health Talk at COP27

    Diplomatic Courier

    Negotiators at COP27 failed to spearhead conversations on public health resilience, continuing a worrying trend of health not being much of an issue at climate talks. Failing to treat public health as part of the climate emergency will be expensive in dollars and lives, writes Giacomo Di Capua.

  • Public Health at COP27: The Urgency to Adopt a Human Development Approach to Climate Negotiations

    CHD Group

    Given its focus on climate finance and implementation, COP27 could have spearheaded conversations on public health resilience and mitigation ambition, which also carries sizeable health co-benefits. Future COPs will necessarily need to catch up on health-centered efforts if the global population is not only to survive, but to thrive in the era of climate change.

  • China’s Energy Sustainability, the 2060 Vision, and the EU

    The New Global Order

    The People’s Republic of China has become one of the most prominent geopolitical leaders worldwide, with a booming economy, growing domestic consumption, and a skyrocketing rise of global financial influence through world-renowned investment projects such as the infamous Belt and Road initiative. Such a rise has deeply affected its energy consumption, requiring a prevalently coal-driven energetic production to keep up with its ramping economic growth.

    Climate change is one of the fundamental challenges that the International Community faces today, and international climate change law is the specific branch of international law recently developed in response to it. The climate change regime comprises the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and its 2012 Doha Amendment and the 2015 Paris Agreement.

    Climate change is one of the fundamental challenges that the International Community faces today, and international climate change law is the specific branch of international law recently developed in response to it. The climate change regime comprises the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and its 2012 Doha Amendment and the 2015 Paris Agreement. Notwithstanding the fact that these legal instruments are in force and are binding on the greatest majority of the States of the world, the language used in them is often intentionally vague. For this reason, recourse to other branches of international law including, in particular, international human rights law has been made. The purpose of the independent study will be to get knowledge and assess the international climate change regime currently in force and to understand its strengths and weaknesses and how the effects of the latter ones can eventually be reduced by recourse to other branches of international law for accountability and legal redress.
