Sustainable Development Law Research Guide
The GlobaLex collection at the New York University Law School has just added a new research guide on sustainable development, certainly a topic of increasing interest in this age of urban sprawl, global warming, smog, and resource depletion.
"Historically, sustainable development law literature has often focused on environmental issues in developed countries. In the last several years, the field of Sustainable Development Law has shifted, to an integration of international economic, social, and environmental law with the goal of reducing poverty in developing nations. Still, one of the major issues in this area is whether 'sustainable development' is law, soft law, or policy".
The guide is divided into sections on Monographs, Treaties and Agreements, Journals, Academic Programs, Organizations and Websites, and Abbreviations.
2 of the organizations mentioned are Canadian:
