International Environmental Governance
A plethora of environmental problems are ravaging the planet and its inhabitants. How well do existing structures convene governments to address these challenges? What is the role of science and civil society in this context? And, does international cooperation properly support countries with limited capacities? This report seeks to respond to these questions, based on an analysis of actions taken to renew international environmental governance to fulfill commitments made at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in 2012. This report outlines possibilities to strengthen the UN Environment Programme and to enhance synergies among global environmental conventions to ensure that international environmental governance continues evolving and improving to secure human well-being and planetary health.
The Untold Story of the World's Leading Environmental Institution
The past, present, and possible future of the agency designed to act as "the world's environmental conscience." The United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) was founded in 1972 as a nimble, fast, and flexible entity at the core of the UN system--a subsidiary body rather than a specialized agency. It was intended to be the world's environmental conscience, an anchor institution that established norms and researched policy, leaving it to other organizations to carry out its recommendations. In this book, Maria Ivanova offers a detailed account of UNEP's origin and history. Ivanova counters the common criticism that UNEP was deficient by design, arguing that UNEP has in fact delivered on much (though not all) of its mandate.

Estudos em Homenagem ao Professor Doutor Wladimir Brito
A obra que ora se publica visa homenagear, como resulta do seu título, o Professor Doutor Wladimir Augusto Correia Brito. Trata-se de uma homenagem incontestavelmente merecida, seja por motivos estritamente científicos, seja por motivos institucionais, seja ainda por motivos de natureza pessoal. Na verdade, o nome Wladimir Brito tem-se revelado - e espera-se que continue a revelar-se - uma referência incontornável no âmbito da ciência jurídica, e particularmente no quadro do Direito Internacional Público em Portugal e não só, atenta a irradiação científica que a sua obra demonstra nos âmbitos mais vastos lusófono e ibérico. De resto, também outros quadrantes científicos mer...
