Накратко на български

Международното законодателство за защита на горите се анализира чрез инструменти като екологичните оценки и климатичните съдебни дела. Това помага да се избегнат правни конфликти и да се подобри управлението на горските територии и защитата на хората в тях.

IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES IN GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW: THE CASE OF FORESTS

The focus of the INTERFOR project is the protection of forests in international law. Forests are recognised to be of utmost importance in the agenda of the United Nations (UN), and in particular the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the climate change goals. SDG15 aims to “protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss”. Despite this recognition, forest protection is, in legal terms, rather scattered. In the context of forest environmental and climate governance, a mix of various layers of legal instruments with different goals exists, at the local, regional and global levels. As a result, the main current challenge is to make sure that the implementation of existing layers of legal protection runs smoothly, enhancing synergies and avoiding conflicts, in order to prevent further environmental degradation of forested lands, and improve forest governance. In this context, INTERFOR aims to answer the following research question: how could the implementation of existing laws be enhanced, with the view of creating a better protection of forested lands and the people inhabiting them? By answering this question, INTERFOR contributes significantly to the understanding of the the different layers of legal protection of forests. More specifically, INTERFOR: 1. Investigates how the use of forests-related arguments in rising rights-based climate litigation can be beneficial to the implementation of climate goals; 2. Investigates how environmental impact assessments as one of the main environmental regulatory tools can be redesigned in a way that improves forest governance; 3. Investigates how the concept of common concern of humankind can create more synergies between climate and biodiversity frameworks; 4. Provides for a holistic framework to organise the various legal interactions present in forested lands.

Цел на проекта

The protection of forests is recognised to be of utmost importance in the agenda of the United Nations, and in particular the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the climate change goals. SDG15 aims to “protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems [and] sustainably manage forests”. Despite this recognition, forest protection is, in legal terms, rather scattered. In the context of forest environmental and climate governance, a mix of various layers of legal instruments with different goals exists, at the local, regional and global levels. As a result, tha main current challenge is to make sure that the implementation of existing layers of legal protection runs smoothly, in order to prevent further environmental degradation of forested lands. Against this background INTERFOR will investigate how the implementation of existing laws can be enhanced, with a view to creating a better protection of forested lands and the people inhabiting them. Through this, INTERFOR will further knowledge on the implementation methods that take place on forested lands and contribute significantly to the understanding of the interactions between different legal fields and systems that apply on forested lands. More specifically, INTERFOR will:1. Investigate interactions between EU and international law to understand how implementation between different instruments can be coordinated in order to achieve better environmental protection (WP1);2. Investigate interactions between international environmental, development and human rights law with the aim of reconceptualising key environmental tools in light of needs of specific communities affected in forested lands (WP2);3. Investigate the interactions between ‘global’ and ‘local’ law to assess the possibilities for greater global action in the pursuance of better forest protection (WP3);4. Provide for a solid theoretical framework to organise the various legal interactions present in forests (WP4).
