COP23: Introducing a new toolkit to help support the Paris Agreement

From 6-17 November 2017, representatives from around the world met in Bonn to discuss climate change at the 23rd ‘conference of the parties’ (COP23) under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

In this blog Steven Malby introduced a new Law and Climate Change Toolkit developed as a global resource for legal policy makers responsible for climate change policies. Three organisations had collaborated on the project, namely the Commonwealth Secretariat’s Office of Civil and Criminal Justice Reform, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and UN Environment.
