The Global Environmental Governance Project, a joint initiative of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy and the College of William and Mary, aims to facilitate thought and action for strengthening environmental policymaking at the global level. Standing at the interface of traditional disciplinary boundaries our research informs the policy processes that are determining the future and fate of environmental governance within the UN system. Students and faculty conduct research that is theoretically based, empirically tested, and policy relevant. The Project provides a clearinghouse of environmental governance information for scholars, researchers, students, policymakers, and diplomats. It also incorporates the knowledge generated by students at William and Mary and Yale.
