“…Like the other states involved in the (BRI), Pakistan requires significant infrastructure, trade, and energy projects like the CPEC to meet the needs of its population and growing societal exigencies. Parallel to this, china's BRI is in sync with its environmental and competition policy implications, balancing it with development predicated on sustainability [ 76 ].…”

International maritime trade has long played a pivotal role in human development; however, its environmental impact cannot be disregarded. Air pollution (that includes Carbon and Sulphur emissions—all together Greenhouse Gases) emanating from ships has emerged as a significant contributor to climate change, prompting growing concern among the international community. The combustion of fossil fuels in ship engines releases pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter into the atmosphere, adversely affecting both human health and the climate. In recognition of the need to tackle this issue, international laws have been established to regulate ship emissions. This research paper analysed the IMO’s regulations under international law for mitigating climate change, with a particular focus on various global initiatives controlling sulphur, carbon and GHG emissions. It is suggested that cooperation between public and private interests as well as at regional levels will play a crucial role in combating climate change and promoting global shipping sustainability.

“…For example, in Pakistan, recently there has been constituted a special institution (Alternative Energy Development Board) at the national level, which provides subsidies for the development of renewable means of energy [150]. The climate policy of Pakistan has promoted several initiatives for green energy and aims to reduce the significant amount of coal-and petroleum-based energy projects [151,152]. Similarly, China has devised a special policy in the field of atmospheric environmental governance that stipulates the standards, statistics, monitoring, and lowcarbon technology of emissions.…”

The United Nations has recently recognised the global community’s environmental interests in ocean governance through the Sustainable Development Goal 14. The marine environmental protection targets stand in need of rejuvenating international environmental law, which fosters interconnection between oceans, climate, and terrestrial ecosystems. The existing literature on this aspect of ocean governance, however, is segregated and lacks an ecosystem-based approach. Therefore, a comprehensive review of the literature on ocean governance with an ecosystem-based approach becomes essential and is conducted through this research. This research has proposed that ocean governance programmes and plans need to be re-arranged under established legal frameworks at national and regional levels. Such a challenge can be addressed by taking the elements of governance provided by the list of targets of sustainable development goals. This research has facilitated the given hypothesis via a meta-ocean-governance framework that incorporates a deliberate regional monitoring system, intergovernmental review, capacity building techniques, national action through strong institutions, scientific decision making, and policy coherence. The idea is to fit the conceptualisation of ocean governance under international environmental law in the existing initiatives within a box of institutions to coordinate and encourage an ecosystem-based approach.
