摘要

摘要航运业仍然是目前世界上唯一不受任何具有法律约束力的温室气体减排措施约束的行业。如果不加以监管，到2050年，船舶可能占温室气体排放量的20%以上。本文探讨了迫使美国环境保护局根据《防止船舶污染法》（“APPS”）监管船舶温室气体的可能性，33 《美国法典》第1901节等。不幸的是，除非达成减少船舶温室气体排放的国际协议，以及对《国际防止船舶污染公约》和APPS的修正案，否则根据APPS提起的公民诉讼将无效。

Compelling the EPA to Regulate GHG Emissions Under the Act to Prevent Pollution From Ships

Abstract Shipping remains the only sector in the world not currently subject to any legally binding greenhouse gas emission (“GHG”) reduction measures. If left unregulated, ships may represent over 20% of GHG emissions by 2050. This article examines the possibility of compelling the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to regulate GHGs from ships under the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships (the “APPS”), 33 U.S.C. § 1901, et seq. Unfortunately, until there is an international agreement to reduce GHG emissions from ships, as well as amendments to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships and the APPS, a citizen suit under the APPS will not be effective.

期刊介绍： The Environmental Claims Journal is a quarterly journal that focuses on the many types of claims and liabilities that result from environmental exposures. The ECJ considers environmental claims under older business insurance policies, coverage and claims under more recent environmental insurance policies, as well as toxic tort claims. Exposures and claims from all environmental media are considered: air, drinking water, groundwater, soil, chemicals in commerce and naturally occurring chemicals. The journal also considers the laws, regulations, and case law that form the basis for claims. The journal would be of interest to environmental and insurance attorneys, insurance professionals, claims professionals, and environmental consultants.
