Call for Papers - Climate Law Reporter
Sustainable Development Law and Policy (“SDLP”) is accepting submissions for its annual Climate Law issue. If you would like to submit an article for consideration in the Winter 2008 issue on Climate Law, please send your paper or a summary of your topic to sdlp@wcl.american.edu ASAP. The deadline for submission is January 20, 2008.
SDLP’s annual climate issue, The Climate Law Reporter, hopes to provide a forum for practitioners to discuss the rapidly developing events in climate law. We are hoping to evaluate climate law on an international, regional, and national scale. SDLP aims to represent a range of viewpoints, including those from academia, the private sector, public sector, multilateral organizations, and others.
