Framework for assessing and improving law for sustainability
   

The sustainability challenges we face today are greater than any we have previously confronted. This year, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Law is a necessary part of the solution to sustainability challenges. To achieve sustainability goals, appropriate and well-implemented legal frameworks and tools must be in place. And, importantly, they must be effective. And to ensure thatlaws work, we must first understand what makes law effective. What factors contribute to its design, implementation, outcome and ultimate impact? And what can we do to improve it? This publication represents a valuable initial effort to take on these questions, through empirical assessment and analysis. The framework it presents is a versatile tool for researchers to structure their study of the effectiveness of law for sustainability. The case studies demonstrate use of the framework, and also provide important insights and information about the effectiveness of environmental law in particular countries and contexts.

World heritage and tourism in a changing climate
    Caldas, Astrid | Lafrenz Samuels, Kathryn | Markham, Adam | Osipova, Elena

This report provides an overview of the increasing vulnerability of World Heritage sites to climate change impacts and the potential implications for and of global tourism. It also examines the close relationship between World Heritage and tourism, and how climate change is likely to exacerbate problems caused by unplanned tourism development and uncontrolled or poorly managed visitor access, as well as other threats and stresses. The report’s goal is to provide up-to-date information and a basis for action on climate change, tourism and World Heritage in the followup to the adoption of the Paris Agreement by the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in December 2015 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in October 2015.
