Throughout the Fall 2015 semester, students in Global Environmental Politics (ENVI/PSCI328), a seminar taught by Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies Pia Kohler, have been studying international environmental law, with a special eye towards the Paris Climate Summit that opened on November 20, 2015.
As Part of this endeavor, the seminar participants have been carrying out research on a variety of themes, culminating in a “virtual field trip” to the CIO21 over the last two weeks of the semester to gather data for their papers.
As part of this work, the students have each prepared blog posts on a variety of topics related to the Summit, and these are now available on the course’s public website: http://sites.williams.edu/cop21/blog-posts/
