This page is a gateway to several pieces of work completed in international environmental law at the University of California Davis in the Spring Term, 2001. Some of the reports produced from these research and writing exercises take the form of collaborative group efforts and some of them are pieces of individual analysis. There are links to these works in the index on the left.

The substance of these works deals with the global affects of Climate Change negotiated during and after the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change . Scientific research indicates that human activity has caused the earth's climate to increase. The climate change is caused by a build up of greenhouse gases that are emitted through activities such as agriculture electricity generation and transportation. Climate change has become an international concern because it can have serious implications on our health, water supply, weather system and agriculture.  The United Nations Framework Convention that entered into force on March 21, 1994 and the Kyoto Protocol that was adopted in 1997 were created to deal with the problem of climate change by taking action to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
