Sustainable Development Law & Policy
Exploring How Today's Development Affects Future Generations Around the Globe
Sustainable Development Law & Policy ("SDLP") is a student-run initiative at American University, Washington College of Law that focuses on reconciling the tensions between environmental sustainability, economic development, and human welfare. The SDLP journal embraces an interdisciplinary approach to provide a fuller view of current legal, political, and social developments. Our mission is to serve as a valuable resource for practitioners, policy makers, and concerned citizens promoting sustainable development throughout the world.
