“…The MEPC acts by majority vote, though consensus is the norm. The majority vote creates a negotiation dynamic that is different from the UNFCCC in that texts can advance despite objections or reservations from particular parties (Hackmann, 2011;Hayer, 2016).…”

In April 2018, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) reached agreement on its Initial Strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping. The Initial Strategy was a success for the EU, as it achieved its long-term objective of reaching an international agreement on greening shipping. However, several factors call into question whether the “success” was the result of the role played by the EU. Using process-tracing, we provide insight into the factors and the mechanism that led the EU to achieve its objective with the Initial Strategy. The article finds that the EU’s goal achievement was the result of a mechanism triggered by (1) its overarching objective for action in the IMO on emissions in international shipping; (2) an entrepreneurial coalition partner; and (3) mounting momentum for action in the IMO. While the EU, including through its member states, played an important role in the negotiations, it only did so relatively late in the process, building on the successful work of the Shipping High Ambition Coalition. Based on this case study, we note implications not only for the proposed aspects of the European Green Deal related to greenhouse gas emissions from shipping, but also our understanding of the EU as an international (climate) actor.

“…Global supply chains are built on infrastructures across borders, e.g., international shipping, and often lack effective governance and regulation regarding emissions. Hackmann (2012) notes that “GHG emissions from international shipping are yet neither regulated by the Kyoto Protocol nor through any other legally binding, internationally accepted regulation.” Similarly, as Gallagher (2005) criticizes, “Indeed, ship emissions have recently been deemed ‘the last unregulated source of traditional air pollutants’… International trade is a key source for increased emissions.”…”

Emerging Market Penetration and Emissions Performance

et al. 2020

Firms move to emerging markets to sell their products, reach new markets, and to strategically offshore or outsource their production and supply chains. However, they may also take advantage of loose environmental regulations and weak protection of existing laws in emerging market countries. Anecdotal evidence and media reports claim that increased firm activity in emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil, among others, has resulted in more significant environmental pollution. However, statistical evidence is lacking in this area. This research consequently investigates the impact of two forms of emerging market presence: the extent of offshoring penetration and extent of sales penetration on emissions performance. We conduct an empirical study using a panel dataset consisting of 300 global firms across various industries, along with their emission levels and emerging market penetration levels. Analysis of over six years of data from 2007 to 2012 shows that even after factoring in the endogeneity related to entry into emerging markets, firms that have a greater degree of emerging market penetration do indeed have higher emissions. We also find that a firm's beneficial actions related to environmental corporate social performance attenuate the relationship between emerging market penetration and emissions, whereas a firm's harmful actions related to environmental corporate social performance amplifies this relationship. Implications of this study for a firm's future strategic location and offshoring decisions are discussed and presented.
