Abstract

This chapter surveys major international and national developments in international and domestic environmental law during the 2023 calendar year. At the international level, it tracks progress on biodiversity conservation with the launch of the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund and the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization Summit, and examines pollution control efforts through ongoing plastics treaty negotiations and adoption of a Global Framework on Chemicals and Waste. Human rights dimensions of environmental protection for young people were highlighted by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child’s General Comment No. 26 and the Maastricht Principles on the Human Rights of Future Generations, alongside jurisprudence from the European Court of Human Rights. Legal issues concerning climate change remained central, with COP28 completing the first Global Stocktake and operationalising the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage. The IMO adopted a new greenhouse gas strategy, the EU introduced a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and there were further advances in climate litigation, including advisory opinion requests before ITLOS and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Nationally, New Zealand developments included biodiversity and waste regulation, industrial emissions initiatives, litigation under the Climate Change Response Act 2002, and further legislative ‘churn’ on resource management law.
