Abstract
PROJECT One: The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea has provided a comprehensive legal
framework over a long period of time. According to Part XII, all States Parties are obliged to protect
the marine environment and prevent any damage. In connection with climate change and its effects
on the oceans. It has been recognized that the cause of climate change lies partly in greenhouse gas
emissions. As a result, measurements are required in all states. This project highlights the issue of
climate change and the obligations of coastal and non-coastal States under UNCLOS 1982, as well as
the obligations in high seas. In addition, the IMO's approach in reducing carbon emissions from
ships. Whereby concluded that the IMO's approach, with the support of the LOSC, is successful in
the jurisdiction of coastal States in both the territorial waters and the EEZ. However, the solution to
reducing greenhouse gases on the high seas is very narrow and requires strong measures. In addition,
it has been suggested that the BBNJ agreement represents hope for a solution to the problem of
climate change in the ocean within the framework of UNCLOS.
PROJECT Two: The automated vehicle is an essential goal for the future development of driving system in the world.
Regulating AV would ensure both safety and better use on the roads. The UK has introduced two
legal frameworks for the use of the AV, the first relating to legal liability for use of the AV and the
second relating to the legal obligation of the AV. This project looks at the new Automated Vehicles
Act 2024 and his impact, with a particular focus on the NUIC operator and the use of AV for
passenger transport under the new act on UK roads. And highlighted the approach of the two
jurisdictions, the US and the UK. Which conclude that the act is a comprehensive as well as the
liability system. However, there is a need for detailed information on secondary legalization,
included suitable guidance from both operational and legal perspectives.
