- Title
- Governance of the Black Sea
- Abstract
- This chapter draws on existing experiences with managing the impacts of global environmental change on the Black Sea to show where building on current practice may be less fruitful. The Black Sea is one of the most polluted of the world’s seas, a situation that is being exacerbated by the effects of climate change. International cooperation among the littoral countries will be essential if the pollution aspects of decline are to be addressed. However, just that sort of cooperation is sorely lacking due to geopolitical disagreements, imbalances in resources and lack of willingness among the governments of surrounding countries. Effective marine governance will require major institutional reform and a reassessment by local governments of the importance of having a Black Sea that is environmentally healthy.
