Still, there is a substantial lack of scientific \u0000data and research about the sources of plastic pollution, destinations and \u0000consequences to nature and human life. The only certainty is that the \u0000amount of plastic that ends up in the ocean is alarming and likely will \u0000not decrease anytime soon because of its durability and large range of use. \u0000Estimates show that, each year, at least 8 million tons of plastics leak into \u0000the ocean and, if no action is taken, this is expected to double by 2030, and \u0000quadruple by 2050. As a result, by 2050 there would be more plastic than \u0000fish in the ocean. This Article focuses on international legal pathways to \u0000face such a problem. It constitutes the basis for further research that \u0000aims at constructing a legal framework to adequately face the problem of \u0000plastic pollution of the oceans. In order to do so, the first step is to unveil \u0000the already existing international instruments—both hard and soft law. \u0000It is indispensable to accomplish this intermediate step because a great \u0000part of such pollution is in international waters, where the only legal regulations \u0000and remedies applicable are those from public international law. \u0000Solely through this state-of-the-art approach is it possible to analyze \u0000critically its possibilities and limitations, as well as to suggest how to \u0000proceed. Therefore, this Article first analyzes whether the international \u0000instruments deal with the plastic soup issue, both from the ex ante and \u0000from the ex post perspectives. After showing that the current efforts are \u0000not compatible with the current harms and threats of plastic pollution of \u0000the oceans, we suggest possible pathways and approaches to surpass the \u0000obstacles and to start facing the problem of plastic pollution of the oceans.","PeriodicalId":340493,"journal":{"name":"Pollution eJournal","volume":"657 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123353639","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}

The study focuses on forty-four countries in sub-Saharan Africa for the period 2000-2012. The Generalised Method of Moments is employed as the empirical strategy and CO2 emissions per capita is used to measure environmental pollution. Bundled and unbundled governance dynamics are employed, notably: political governance (consisting of political stability/no violence and “voice and accountability”), economic governance (encompassing government effectiveness and regulation quality), institutional governance (entailing corruption-control and the rule of law), and general governance (a composite measure of political governance, economic governance and institutional governance). The following main findings are established. First, the underlying net effect in the moderating role of inclusive development in the governance-CO2 emissions nexus is not significant in regressions pertaining to political governance and economic governance. Second, there are positive net effects from the relevance of inclusive development in modulating the effects of regulation quality, economic governance and general governance on CO2 emissions. The significant and insignificant effects are elucidated. Policy implications are discussed.","PeriodicalId":340493,"journal":{"name":"Pollution eJournal","volume":"11 8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125765886","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}

The first two years of the Trump Administration have seen the first vigorous use by Congress of its power to overturn recently issued regulations and the creation of novel deregulatory mechanisms layered on top of cost-benefit analysis. There have also been dramatic examples of sharply reversed CBAs, in which regulations that were said to have large net benefits under Obama are instead said to have net costs under Trump. The Trump Administration’s regulatory review initiatives focus heavily on costs, with limited attention to benefits. Case studies of three regulations show that the economic analysis of one is seriously defective, another admits to having severe limitations, and a third seems makes a concerted effort to reduce the weight of benefits. Some of these characteristics may be analytically defensible, others seemingly are not. It is even harder to connect Congress’s recent uses of the Congressional Review Act to either a concern about net benefits or a desire to reduce the economic burdens of regulation. Thus, cost-benefit analysis seems overall a marginal part of current regulatory policy. This lack of interest in regulatory analysis seems to be a characteristic not only of the Trump Administration but of the Republican Congress.","PeriodicalId":340493,"journal":{"name":"Pollution eJournal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115551065","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}
