The Arctic region has drawn attention from around the world due to its distinct environment and susceptibility to climate change. The need for an effective system of governance that goes beyond anthropocentric viewpoints is more pressing than ever as human activities in the region increase, from resource exploitation and shipping to tourism. The incorporation of a “planetary approach” into the Arctic Ocean Governance System is examined in this paper, which represents a paradigm change that is crucial for safeguarding the Arctic marine environment. The paper further explores how the concepts of “planetary approach” and “planetary justice” can be integrated into the Arctic Ocean governance system to embrace the role of non-human nature in protecting the Arctic marine environment. In addition, the paper analyses how the “planetary approach” with a broader mandate can implement best practices in Arctic Ocean governance.

INTEGRACIÓN DEL “ENFOQUE PLANETARIO” Y LA “JUSTICIA PLANETARIA” EN EL SISTEMA DE GOBERNANZA DEL OCÉANO ÁRTICO PARA ACEPTAR EL PAPEL DE LA NATURALEZA NO HUMANA EN LA PROTECCIÓN DEL MEDIO MARINO ÁRTICO
La región ártica ha atraído la atención mundial debido a su entorno único y su susceptibilidad al cambio climático. La necesidad de un sistema de gobernanza eficaz que trascienda las perspectivas antropocéntricas es más apremiante que nunca ante el aumento de las actividades humanas en la región, desde la explotación de recursos y el transporte marítimo hasta el turismo. En este documento se examina la incorporación de un “enfoque planetario” en el Sistema de Gobernanza del Océano Ártico, lo cual representa un cambio de paradigma crucial para la salvaguardia del medio marino ártico. El documento explora además cómo los conceptos de “enfoque planetario” y “justicia planetaria” pueden integrarse en el sistema de gobernanza del Océano Ártico para asimilar el papel de la naturaleza no humana en la protección del medio marino ártico. Además, el documento analiza cómo el enfoque planetario, con un mandato más amplio, puede implementar las mejores prácticas en la gobernanza del océano Ártico.

将“行星方法”和“行星正义”融入北冰洋治理体系，以充分发挥非人类自然在保护北极海洋环境中的作用
北极地区因其独特的环境和易受气候变化影响的特性，吸引了世界各地的关注。随着人类在北极地区的活动日益增多，从资源开发、航运到旅游业，建立超越人类中心主义的有效治理体系的需求比以往任何时候都更加迫切。本文探讨了将“行星方法”纳入北冰洋治理体系，这代表着一种范式转变，对保护北极海洋环境至关重要。本文进一步探讨了如何将“行星方法”和“行星正义”的概念融入北冰洋治理体系，以包容非人类自然在保护北极海洋环境中的作用。此外，本文还分析了赋予更广泛授权的“行星方法”如何将最佳实践应用于北冰洋治理。
