Papers on International Environmental Negotiation, Volume 05

This is the fifth volume in a series to address trans-boundary and global commons environment and resource problems. The chapters in this volume  were written and presented by students in a graduate seminar on International Environmental Negotiation offered jointly by the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and the MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning. The proposals presented in these annual collections of essays are designed to improve the negotiation process and the substantive outcomes of existing and future environmental agreements.

The ten chapters in this volume address five broad themes: negotiating and implementing agreements, technology transfer and trade, hazardous materials, refugess and the environment, and conserving biological diversity.
