Such proposal should be developed in coordination with the relevant areas of the OAS and the corresponding organs and entities of the inter-American system, and be aligned with global efforts on these topics according to national and regional contexts, and its potential implementation will be subject to the availability of financial resources in the program budget of the organisation and other resources. The proposal should be focused on the exchange of best practices, experiences, and lessons learned in thematic areas such as: the design of public policies to improve disaster risk management, institutional strengthening, and capacity building, as well as those seeking to improve mediumand long-term recovery and reconstruction efforts in the hemisphere.

After the Chernobyl accident in 1986, for example, two international conventions were adopted: The Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident and the Convention on Assistance in the Case of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency. Similarly, the Torrey Canyon accident and the subsequent oil spill led to the establishment of the International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds (IOPC Funds) and the adoption of the 1969 International Convention on Intervention on the High Seas in Cases of Oil Pollution Casualties. There are many illustrations of this international environmental law adopted in response to disasters. However, international environmental law has not only developed in the aftermath of disasters. Numerous texts of international environmental law have been adopted to prevent such events, such as the Vienna Convention on the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Based on the observation that a disaster risk could occur, States have anticipated their occurrence by concluding an agreement. Certain texts, such as the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer adopted following the Vienna Convention, have made it possible to prevent disasters from occurring. On 15 October 2016, the States Parties to the Montreal Protocol had adopted the Kigali Amendment for the phase-down of hydrofluorocarbons. Although hydrofluorocarbons are not ozone-depleting substances, they are gases that can contribute to global warming. The Kigali Amendment entered into force on 1 January 2019, which will contribute to the 2°C objective of the Paris Agreement.1 For other conventions, the results are more contrasted. For example, the two-degree objective set by the Paris Agreement seems completely unrealistic today, given the lack of ambition of the voluntary commitments","PeriodicalId":224172,"journal":{"name":"Yearbook of International Disaster Law Online","volume":"383 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124760948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially the Arctic is undergoing rapid changes, due to both climate change and globalization. Increasing economic activities in the Arctic, such as tourism or the extraction of hydrocarbons, lead to increasing risks for disasters which can affect both local residents, including the many indigenous communities of the Arctic, as well as visitors.1 At the time of writing, in late January 2020, the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus from the Chinese city of Wuhan has already had a serious economic impact on the tourism industry in the continental European Arctic. Faced with new kinds of threats, decision-makers on different levels have to respond to the risk of disasters in a challenging climatic and economic environment. Often, such responses will require international cooperation. The eight Arctic states, Canada, the United States of America (with regard to Alaska), Denmark (with regard to Greenland), Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Russian Federation, are parties to the Arctic Search and Rescue Agreement (Arctic SAR Agreement),2 which has provided a framework for cross-border cooperation since it entered into force in 2013.
