climate change policy in Japan and Australia

2007-11-14 Thread Steven Bernstein 
Dear GEPeders,

I am having my students do a climate chage simulation and a couple are
having trouble finding good recent analyses of the policies of Japan and
Australia (domestic or foreign policy).  They have searched the usual
sources, plus the country reports available through the UNFCCC.  I'm
wondering if anyone has either written anything themselves or knows of
any good book chapters or articles on the policies of these countries.

Thanks,
Steven

Dear Gep-ed's,
 
I'm looking for some good literature suggestions on public/private partnerships 
in conservation, preferably critical pieces and - that would be absolutely 
perfect - related to Africa. Hope there is somebody out there that can help me!
 
Thanks,
 
Bram
