Environmental Law

For those interested in exploring international environmental law in a little more depth, a starting point would be the website for the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. There are details there as well on the next conference, which is in Lima Peru next month. The next important Summit is in Paris next year. For more background on the science of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has produced some of the most authoritative reports, the latest of which (AR5, published earlier this year), is profoundly disturbing. Finally, you can find more information on the UN Environmental Program (UNEP) website.
