Authors:Gerard Kelly Pages: 85 - 92 Abstract: Environmental Law Review, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 85-92, June 2022. A diverse range of regulatory schemes in climate policy has produced a fragmented and crowded governance landscape. Devising pathways towards converging all of the different climate governance approaches would be a Herculean task, but it is argued here that this should not inhibit efforts to scale up regulatory initiatives in specific areas of climate governance. In this respect, it is argued that linking emissions trading schemes (ETSs) would significantly contribute to the development of creating more durable and connected climate governance arrangements. At present, the global expansion of ETSs raises risks of potential regulatory divergence, conflict, and the emergence of a disconnected patchwork of schemes. However, the expansion of trading schemes has also brought an increased interest in the feasibility of linkage between ETSs. This opinion argues that, in the absence of a comprehensive multilateral regime governing emissions trading, policymakers and scholars must instead refocus on the challenges of creating a coherent climate governance architecture from the bottom-up. It further suggests that the development and implementation of durable linkages between ETSs are critical building blocks in this quest.

Authors:Gideon Fosoh Ngwome Pages: 93 - 110 Abstract: Environmental Law Review, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 93-110, June 2022. This paper examines the challenges that bedevil the regulation of plastic pollution in Cameroon. Drawing on existing primary and secondary data, the paper argues that although there is an enabling legal environment for regulating plastic pollution in Cameroon, such an enabling environment disappointingly is not comprehensive and holistic to effectively combat plastic pollution owing to some pertinent reasons. Because of such reasons, the paper finds that the legal environment is timid and lends little support for effectively combating plastic pollution in Cameroon as land and marine plastics litter is continually on a hike. After demonstrating that the current legal efforts are timid and are not fit to address the current plastic pollution crisis and its associated harms, the paper recommends some key measures and pathways to effectively tackle the problem with a major one being the dire need for a comprehensive legislation that addresses plastics and the plastic pollution crisis in a holistic manner and that such legislation must be contingent on a similar global legally binding agreement that enjoins all countries to adopt, implement and enforce national plastics and plastic pollution legislation.

Authors:Julia Hoernig Pages: 111 - 127 Abstract: Environmental Law Review, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 111-127, June 2022. The paper seeks to examine the role of categorisation for circular economy by investigating the concept and definition of waste and waste management. In this paper, not only the legal interpretation provided by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and legal scholars will be considered, but also economic analysis for an improved taxonomy of waste and resources (also referred to as ‘secondary raw material’). The broad concept of waste as developed by the CJEU as well as the uncertainty of end-of-waste-status-criteria create a major obstacle. The paper thus seeks to provide an alternative to the existing categories based on a more purposive approach that acknowledges the potential of resources more adequately. It provides an additional concept to waste within the legal framework and thereby acknowledges the role of categorisation as a driver for circular economy.
