Week 8 Discussion

DQ1 Connections between international environmental law and your present life and your future careers

Share your thoughts about the international environmental laws you learned bout this week and your present life and/or future careers.  For example, if you presently maintain heating and air conditioning systems, which of the environmental laws we learned about this week would most apply to your job?  What if you are the Supplies Chain Manager for Martins Guitar?  Share your connections between future careers, present jobs, and present lives and the international environmental laws you learned about this week.

DQ2 Framework and need for international environmental law

Discuss the framework presently used for international environmental law and compare it to the U.S. framework for environmental law.  What are the similarities and differences?

DQ3 Some important international environmental agreements and programs

Take one of the topics we discussed this week and share your thoughts on whether it is a hard law, a soft law, not a law at all, and what makes the law or program effective or ineffective.  Are there other international laws or programs we should cover that were not covered this week?  Explain the importance of a law or program we did not cover that made a difference in our global environment.
