Global Climate Governance To Enhance Biodiversity & Well-Being: Integrating Non-State Networks And Public International Law In Tropical Forests, Andrew Long
Andrew Long
Environmental governance frequently represents a leading edge of global regulation. The climate regime even continues to create new modes of regulation despite a negotiation impasse.

Specifically, future programs …
