The source‐to‐sea nexus between water and ocean law: An international and EU perspective

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 210-224, April 2026.
Abstract The source‐to‐sea (S2S) approach provides a systemic framework for analysing the governance of naturally interconnected freshwater and marine ecosystems. This paper examines the extent to which the S2S approach is reflected in key international and EU water and ocean law instruments, as well as the legal and governance implications of said ...

From credits to coherence: Applying the policy coherence approach to prevent problem‐shifting in the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 172-183, April 2026.
Abstract Carbon crediting mechanisms can deliver cost‐effective climate mitigation but risk ‘problem‐shifting’ by worsening environmental harms such as biodiversity loss and water pollution. This article assesses whether the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (PACM) is better equipped than the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to prevent such trade ...
