论中国在北极治理中的国际责任及其践行路径

China’s Responsibility in the Arctic Governance and Practice Route

在全球气候变暖和北极冰融的影响下,北极治理逐渐成为国际社会关注的热点话题。中国作为地理上的"近北极国家"以及《联合国海洋法公约》等国际公约的缔约国,拥有参与北极治理的合法合理依据,承担着维护北极治理规范、推动北极资源绿色和可持续开发、保护北极自然生态环境等国际责任。在未来一段时期,中国在国内应该完善涉及北极事务的国内规制,推动北极科学考察的国际合作,协调国内科学家群体参与北极理事会工作组的科学评估工作,并着重构建中国北极国际责任话语体系。

Under the influence of global climate warming and Arctic ice-melting,Arctic governance has gradually become a hot topic of international community.As a geographical"near-Arctic state"and a contracting state of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea(UNCLOS)and other international conventions,China has a legitimate and reasonable basis to participate in Arctic governance,and shoulder international responsibilities to uphold the norms of Arctic governance,promote the green and sustainable development of Arctic resources,and protect the natural and ecological environment of the Arctic.In the future,China should improve its domestic regulations on Arctic affairs,promote international cooperation on Arctic scientific expeditions,coordinate the participation of domestic scientists in the scientific assessment work of the Arctic Council Working Group,and focus on building a discourse system of China’s international responsibility for the Arctic.
