Course Content

Starting from global warming and Arctic marine governance, it is to establish what are the legal tools that are used to protect the oceans (biodiversity and ecosystem services) and meet the UN 2030 sustainable development goas. In this context, we will review the powers given to the coastal states, international organizations, and regional bodies to govern the oceans that are being increasingly exploited by the multiple stakeholders, such as shipping and energy companies.

Ders notlarını kendim hazırlıyorum. Norvec Kutup Araştırmaları Enstitüsü ile Arktik araştırmaları yapıyor ve bolgeyi periyodik olarak ziyaret ediyorum. 2023 yılına kadar Norveçliler ile Svalbard adasında bilimsel arastirmalar yapacağım, tecrübelerimi öğrencilere aktaracağım.
I will prepare the class notes. I work closely with the Norwegian Polar Institute. I will continue working with them as I have an agreement to join their research activities in the Arctic (Svalbard) untill 2023. Therefore, I will be sharing my experience gained throught this international collobaration with the class.
