Recent donations to the IUCN ELC library

In cooperation with the International Council of Environmental Law (ICEL), the IUCN Environmental Law Programme encourages the exchange of information on legal, policy, and administrative aspects of environmental issues.

In this context, IUCN and ICEL jointly approach publishers and IUCN/CEL Members, as well as ICEL Members, on a regular basis to donate relevant publications to the IUCN Environmental Law Centre (ELC) Library in Bonn. In exchange, IUCN offers to feature the books on the Environmental Law Programme's website. The publications are also included in ECOLEX, the global environmental law database operated by the IUCN ELC in partnership with FAO and UNEP. They are also made available to the many fellows, interns and visitors who make use of the IUCN ELC library. In the list below, a direct link to more information on the publication is made to the publisher's website whenever the sponsoring publisher so wishes and otherwise to the ECOLEX full entry.

The listing below is sorted by topic (within each topic first by year and then by author) and features donations within a period of 6 months.
