Climate Change Regulations of Corporations in Tanzania: A Case for Dilute Interventionism and Veto Firewall Paradigm

Abstract

Corporations operating in developing countries generally adopt an obstructionist approach to climate change and environmental regulation, particularly in states with weaker economic bargaining strength. Tanzania is one of the African states suffering the disproportionate impacts of climate change but with a weak regulatory capacity to restrain adverse corporate climate change impacting activities. This article critically analyses the climate change regulatory framework of corporations in Tanzania and proposes the implementation of the Dilute Interventionism Model as an innovative solution for regulating corporate activities in climate change mitigation in the country. The model combines prescriptive and facilitative measures in regulating corporations to mitigate the effects of climate change. The article also identifies the need for Veto Firewall protection to safeguard the independence of the sole independent regulator established to regulate the climate change activities of corporations in Tanzania. This article adopts the Dilute Interventionism Pyramid which depicts the steps required to implement the Dilute Interventionism Model in Tanzania. The challenges to the implementation of the Dilute Interventionism and Veto Firewall Paradigm in Tanzania are also discussed, including resistance from corporations, inadequate funding, and lack of technical capacity and the potential solutions to these challenges are briefly highlighted.
