This book assesses the extent to which two specialized UN agencies
– the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in London and the
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal –
have been able to regulate environmental pollution in the global
commons. Since the Kyoto Protocol and its tasking of these two
public International Organizations (IOs) in 1997 to regulate
greenhouse gas emissions from the fast-growing international
shipping and aviation sectors, they have struggled with the
assignment even as the external pressure has mounted for them to
act. David Deese examines why these two UN agencies have largely
failed to execute their critical missions to date and explores the
most promising emerging and feasible routes to control and reduce
these emissions by other means. Drawing on a range of sources
including interviews with key actors in the IMO and ICAO, as well
as from industry and national governments, Deese looks at the
multifaceted politics that drive these IOs and considers how this
has delayed and frustrated the execution of their assigned climate
mitigation missions. He also explains how the limitations of the
IMO and ICAO are likely to be found to a degree in other UN
specialized agencies and examines how lessons learned here will be
helpful in understanding the operations of other IOs. The book will
be of great interest to students and scholars of global governance
and IOs, transport, and environment and climate change. It will
also be a useful resource for industry and non-profit experts and
public officials working in shipping and aviation regulation.
