  • Read a report to be submitted by the UN Secretary General that identifies and assesses possible gaps in international environmental law and environment-related instruments;
  • Contact environmental law experts through the contact tab with questions related to the substance of the above report or to the activities of the ad hoc open‑ended working group established by resolution 72/277 “Towards a Global Pact for the Environment”;
  • Find news on environmental law from around the world;
  • Learn from a glossary of key terms in international environmental law.
