As part of this initiative, we examine power relations, legal arrangements and their impact on environmental resource use, access and management. We also study institutions of regulation and governance (e.g. property rights, markets, trade regimes, treaties, national laws) and organizational actors (e.g. governments, international organizations, corporations, NGOs) and the ways in which relationships and influences amongst them affect the
capacity of societies to respond to environmental change and crisis.
