全球性的海洋环境问题已经严重威胁人类的生存与发展，使得区域治理模式受到国际社会的广泛关注，各国与各地区也在积极探索海洋区域治理路径。西北太平洋行动计划作为东北亚国家间海洋区域治理的合作机制，旨在通过多边合作建立一个富有弹性、可预测、安全透明的海洋治理机制。但受到海洋环境治理领域“高政治”倾向、合作机制缺乏强制力与有效性、合作资金匮乏以及新冠疫情蔓延等因素的影响，该行动计划在实践与执行过程中面临诸多挑战。着眼于未来，西北太平洋行动计划需要创新发展理念，拓展行动与治理主体，结合“软法”与“硬法”以完善合作机制，拓展西北太平洋行动计划在疫情治理领域的功能。
Global marine environmental problems are posing seriousthreats to the survival and development of mankind，so that the model of regional governance has become a common concern of the international community，with countries and regions actively exploring the path of marine regional governance. The Northwest Pacific Action Plan，as a cooperative mechanism for regional governance of the oceans among Northeast Asian countries，aims to create a resilient，predictable，safe and transparent ocean through multilateral cooperation. However，it faces many challenges in practice and implementation due to the imperfect governance mechanism，negative impacts of “high politics”，insufficient binding frameworks for action，lack of funding for cooperation，as well as the global spread of COVID-19. Looking to the future，the NOWPAP needs to innovate development concepts，expand action and governance bodies，and improve its cooperation mechanism to seek sustainable advancement in the field of marine regional governance. To some extent，the cooperative experience of ocean governance among Northeast Asian countries can provide reference for cooperation in other areas of the region and contribute wisdom and strength to global governance.
