Environmental Protection in Antarctica: Temptations and Accountability

This video presents the second installment in a three-part conference series by the Graduate Institute of Development Studies in Geneva, which offers a multi-disciplinary look at the environmental governance of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Experts assess the Antarctic Treaty System and its Madrid Protocol, focusing on the mining ban, climate change, tourism, shipping, and scientific presence. The discussion highlights both the strengths and limitations of current frameworks and explores future-oriented ideas like rights of nature and space governance parallels.
