Abstract:
The Environmental Treaties and Resource Indicators (ENTRI) Query Service is a
comprehensive web-based application for accessing environmental treaty texts
and treaty status data such as signatories, parties, former parties (if
applicable), year of agreement and enforcement and other related information.
Through the treaty locator and country explorer search capabilities,
... treaties
that focus on land use/and cover change, desertification, global climate
change, stratospheric ozone depletion, transboundary air pollution,
conservation of biological diversity, deforestation, ocean and their living
resources, trade and the environment, and population can be retrieved. In
addition, selected remote sites can be queried to retrieve large document
collections related to environmental treaties. Useful tools and related links
are also provided. ENTRI Query Service is produced by Columbia University
Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN), in
collaboration w ith the International Union for the Conservation of Nature
(IUCN), United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), Tufts University's
Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy (FSLD), British Columbia Ministry of
Environment, Lands, & Parks (BCMELP), Antarctic Cooperative Research Centre
(ACRC) and American Society of International Law (ASIL).
The purpose is online information on environmental treaties and national
