| Summary: | Climate change has recently been a subject of increased attention in the shipping sector. Along with technical issues of GHG emissions reduction, a question of appropriate governance has been raised. The argument regarding the role of global, regional, and local policies in curbing shipping emissions is a part of a broader theoretical debate on forms of global governance. This paper examines the recent literature on polycentric climate governance and suggests principles for environmental regulation in shipping based on a polycentric approach.
•GHG emissions from shipping are projected to grow.•Global regulation is not the only way forward.•A polycentric approach opens prospects for policy learning and improvement. |
