Special Issue of International Environmental Agreements

The science agenda of the Earth System Governance Project stands at the centre of a special issue of International Environmental Agreements: Politics, Law and Economics that is published recently.

The first article of this special issue of International Environmental Agreements (Volume 10, Number 4) introduces the scientific agenda and other articles present new cutting-edge research that builds on this ambitious science plan. Most contributions have been spearheaded by members of the scientific steering committee of the Project, along with several colleagues who have joined the Project after its launch.

Further special issues are on their way on Agency, Accountability and Legitimacy, and on Governance of REDD. Many more Earth System Governance publications are forthcoming.
