For my students, I just put together a page for Online guides to COP-28 
. Hope it might come in 
useful for some of yours, and please don’t hesitate to forward additional 
resources for the page. 

Happy fall,

[gep-ed] EarthWeb.info

[Charles Chester]

Dear gep-eders,

Each year around this time I send out a notice/update/reminder about 
EarthWeb.info , my “web-guide to sustainability, 
conservation & environment." As it slowly continues to expand (there are now 
350+ individual pages, albeit many of them little more than placeholders), a 
few particular resources might come in useful to you and/or your students:

• There are now four separate pages under the main Periodicals 
 page: 
- News sources 
- Magazines, yearbooks, and other serials 

- Academic journals 

- Blogs, newsletters & online platforms 


• The Opportunities  page is 
probably the most-accessed by my students….

• Scrolling through the NGOs A>Z listing 
 page will give your 
students a good sense of the diversity, size, and scope of civil society in the 
sustainability arena.
 
• The Multilateral Environmental Agreements 
 page remain the most relevant to this 
group.

As ever, I welcome corrections and suggestions! 

Best wishes,

Charlie Chester

[gep-ed] Best environmental alternative to Twitter

[Charles Chester]

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been asked before…but as a social media Neanderthal, I’m 
wondering what might be the most important/visible/ethically-unchallenged 
social media platform for the "environmental community" writ large. 

At least in terms of visibility, I’m assuming it’s Twitter because, well, it’s 
just been Twitter for everything. Given recent developments, or one might say 
“regressions,” seems like there’s plenty of justifications to be looking for 
alternatives…and a quick search came up a large number of alternatives out 
there….

Happy to take answers direct to me and I'll collate them for the list.

Additional apologies if my question is too similar to: “What’s the best 
Internet search engine—Google??” 

Justifiable answer: "No, it’s Altavista, you medeival Yahoo….” 

Thanks,
 
Charlie Chester

[gep-ed] Question on using "international regime" in class....

[Charles Chester]

Hi gep-eders,

I’m at that point in the semester where I give my undergraduates a fairly 
in-depth treatment of the terms “international regime” and “international 
environmental regime.” I tell them that they need to know the basics of how 
this terminology came about since I’ll be using the word “regime” for the rest 
of the semester….

…but then it occurred to me that for the past few years, I’ve really not been 
using the word regime at all. It just sort of faded away from my in-class 
vocabulary in more of a fizz that a puff…not sure if this is good, bad, or 
meaningless, but it made me wonder about how important it is for me to be 
teaching “international regimes” (including elaboration of the consensus 
definition, etc.) in a course on global environmental politics. I have some 
nascent thoughts…but half of them lie in direct contradiction with the other 
half….so I thought it would be helpful to get some general feedback on this. 
Here’s my question: How much time do you spend teaching regime theory in your 
GEP classes, and does the amount of time you give it reflect on the importance 
of the concept? Apologies if I’m rehashing a previous conversation on gep-ed 
that I missed. 

All best,

Charlie Chester

[gep-ed] EarthWeb.info

[Charles Chester]

Hi gep-eders,

Some of you might recall that every year about this time, I send out a reminder 
about my website on GEP information that I’ve put together for my students. As 
I’ve been incrementally building the site over the years, the label of “GEP” 
has become a bit off-target as there are now >200 individual pages on the site 
covering an array of sustainability, environmental, & conservation topics. So 
while GEP still lies at the heart of the website, I've changed its name from 
gep-guide.net  to EarthWeb.info , 
and I call it a “web·guide” since it is essentially a field guide to what’s 
available online in our (very) broad issue arena.  

Issues of particular interest to students of global environmental politics will 
now be found under the top menu item on “IEL+GEP.” More generally, a few 
particular pages that might be of interest to students and faculty include:

• the Treaties, conventions & MEAs  
page,
• the News & blogs  page, which now 
contains links to more than 100 environmental news sources,
• the Periodicals  page,
• the Global environmental assessments 
 page,
• the NGOs & CSOs  page,
• the College & university departments, degree programs, campus groups & 
institutions  page,
• the Spillover, zoonotic diseases (zoonoses), One Health & Covid-19 
 page,
• the Environmental justice (EJ), environmental racism & JEDI 
 page
• the Climate change hub  page,

Of course, any corrections/suggestions/ideas on improving anything on the 
website are always welcome. 

Best wishes for a great start to your semesters. For those of you who what the 
hell happened to early June and its promise of getting outdoors (not to mention 
the tantalizing prospect of a bright shining “this summer I’m going to catch up 
on all my work”), here’s an article I just wrote on the 100th anniversary of 
the Appalachian Trail 
.
 Just think: instead of toiling away on your syllabi, you could be out hiking 
in…actually, I’d recommend not thinking about that one tiny little bit.

Back to work,

Charlie Chester

[gep-ed] GEP-guide.net resource update

[Charles Chester]

Hi gep-eders,

With the fall semester impending, I'm sending out my annual reminder of the 
online resources available at GEP-guide.net , a guide to 
online resources on global environmental politics. I began putting this website 
together for my students, and over time it’s ballooned into something that 
might be helpful for the community at large.

With all that’s happened this year, I’m highlighting two particular pages:

• the Environmental Justice, environmental racism & DEI (diversity, equity, 
inclusion)  page;

• the One Health/spillover page 
 page that contains useful 
links on COVID-19.

Also, going back to the discussion on remote & online learning that we had in 
March over gep-ed, there’s a page on GEP research & teaching 
 that contains a link to 
the Google Sheet with all of our “tradable” lectures (here’s the direct link 

 to it; please remember to look at the important information in the Notes tab). 

A few other other pages that could be of particular use to your students:

• Environmental news & blogs 

• Environmental periodicals 

• NGO listing 

• Climate change films & documentaries 


There’s a lot more…a whole lot more…and while some of it fairly well organized 
and annotated, much of it remains somewhat piled on with minimal context 
(waiting for me to do something with it). But overall, my hope is that it can 
give students of GEP both a leg up in their research and a sense of the sizable 
span of what happens under the label of GEP.

All best, 

Charlie Chester

[gep-ed] Question regarding France, climate change & deliberate democracy

[Charles Chester]

Hi gep-eders,

One of my students recently forwarded to me this article 

 from a conservative news outlet on France, climate change & deliberate (or 
“random,” as the author puts it) democracy. To summarize the article: Macron’s 
a moron for letting climate advocates usurp reasonable policies with 
out-of-touch and unattainable goals

I ran a quick look for analysis (academic or otherwise) of the situation, but 
came up with not much. If anyone has any insights or literature on this, I’d 
very much appreciate it. 

All best,

Re: [gep-ed] just a thought

[Charles Chester]

Hi all,

As we go along figuring out this new world, I think the main thing is that we 
feel comfortable saying: “No, I’m sorry, I just can’t do this right now.” I 
know that’s easier for someone older like me to say, and very hard for someone 
at the start of their career to say, but I do think this is something we all 
have to learn. I also have trust that everyone will understand that if a 
request is made, there should be no expectations whatsoever. Just too much 
chaos on the personal and societal level right now. I know we all (well, most!) 
hate to say “no,” but we’ve got to do the honest self-assessment now more than 
ever—anti-cabin fever and personal sanity is our new stock in trade. 

There was part of me I couldn’t suppress who said: “Shelter at home?! Great, 
now I can catch up on my email!” Well, I’m deeper in the time sink hole than I 
ever expected possible (and trust me, I’ve been deep, deep, deep in that hole). 
I haven’t even had a chance to keep up with this gep-ed thread, and am just now 
trying to read through all your great posts.

Thanks everyone, 

Charlie Chester

Re: [gep-ed] just a thought

[Charles Chester]

Hi all,

Susi’s concerns on compensation are more than justified, but I can attest that 
my institutions have no viable guest lecture budget for courses. A direct 
barter system thus seems to me the most equitable and feasible way of ensuring 
that guest lecturing doesn’t become inequitable. I’ve posted a very tentative 
Google Sheet 

 showing how something like this might work. Happy to dump in the e-bin or pass 
along to anyone who has better thoughts on how to manage something like this….

All best,   

Charlie Chester

[gep-ed] New resource: Listing of climate change documentaries

[Charles Chester]

Hi gep-eders,

If you are like me, all your hopes and dreams for the semester have been 
shattered and you are stuck with the prospect of lots of small-screen faces all 
zooming at you as you talk to your computer. Today, my class was to have begun 
it’s extensive multi-class negotiations session, one that would have been 
really difficult in person…and one that I fear is not feasible online. Well, it 
might be feasible if the students were primed and pumped to engage in an online 
discussion, but I’m thinking that the next month is going to entail a great 
deal of distraction…. If it’s hard to get students off their ADDs (advanced 
digital devices, not the other ADD…though who’s to tell the difference) in 
class, what reason is there to think a tiny zoom screen is going to captivate 
them? 

All of which is to say that I’m not sure what I’m going to do over the coming 
weeks, but as a backstop I’ve put together a listing of climate change 
documentary films . I’ve a 
ways to go on it, but thought I’d share as this might come in useful in the new 
reality. 

Who knew that a brand of Mexican beer could have such a devastating effect on 
civilization? Too bad we didn’t build that wall in time. See you on some tiny 
screen in the dystopic future,

[gep-ed] The Heartland Lobby

[Charles Chester]

Hi gep-eders, 

Recognizing that gep-ed is not a climate news feed, this story seemed 
significant and relevant enough to share: 

https://correctiv.org/en/top-stories-en/2020/02/11/the-heartland-lobby

For anyone feeling bereft of climate news, I’ve collected some resources here 
. 

All best,

CA outages & climate change [Re: [gep-ed] Fordham University Comparative Politics/Environmental Policy position]

[Charles Chester]

Kate,

Your parenthetical coda was intriguing…please power up your computer while you 
can (and obtain a satellite uplink, I guess) so you can send us gep-eders some 
real-time updates from your (increasingly remote?) outpost on the climate 
change front.

You also inspired me to google <>. Some 
notable finds came up, including the first, which I thought most on this email 
list would appreciate:

Think California's Preemptive Blackouts Are Scary? Buckle Up 

Good luck,

[gep-ed] Guide to September climate and sustainability events

[Charles Chester]

Hi all,

First day back on campus, and my students are asking me what’s when with all 
the climate change events this coming month. I was having a hard time keeping 
them all straight, so I set up a semi-chronological Guide to Major Climate 
Change & Sustainability Events in September 
 at my homepage…hoping 
students and faculty will be able to attend one or more!  

All best,

Charlie Chester

[gep-ed] Global Environmental Politics - an online guide

[Charles Chester]

Hi gep-eders,

As we head into the new academic year, I just wanted to send out a reminder of 
the resource I’ve been slowly developing at GEP-guide.net 
. I’ve been slowly accreting this site over the past 
four years, and while there are obviously quantum leaps to go in order to make 
it “thorough,” there are resources here that may come in handy for your 
students. Particular pages that might be useful are:

• the Periodicals & serials  
page; 

• the News & blogs  page;

• the NGOs  page.

In addition to that broad NGO page, I also set up a “Climate change 
institutions ” page that might 
be of interest. I have the occasional student, usually a non-environmental 
studied major, stop by my office to ask: “Why isn’t there anyone out there 
doing anything about climate change?” This page comes in handy for giving them 
a gentle heads up…. 

I have also started developing a list of university-based environmental 
programs here , but given the 
database that's already available at AASHE 
, I’m not sure how useful 
this page is. If you would like your program listed, please don’t hesitate to 
let me know (it may take me a while to post it…I’m about to stop ignoring 
incessant pleas from the dean to post my syllabi).   
 
For those of you who may have already been to the site when I sent out a 
similar reminder last year at this time, the site's accessibility and content 
is a step up from then. That said, the Spanish Steps still loom ahead, and the 
homemade feel is still quite apparent (my staff of techies & proofreaders went 
on strike after they found out they were nonexistent). But again, I’m just 
hoping this will turn out to be a useful resource beyond my own students.

Best wishes for a great start to the school year,

Charlie Chester

[gep-ed] Interesting perspective on flying

[Charles Chester]

Hi GEP-eders,

I forwarded the information provided by Jonas Schoenefeld (thank you!) to my 
faculty-climate email list at Brandeis, over which there has been some 
discussion—also sometimes a bit contentious—of flying’s carbon impact. I noted 
that there had been a fairly debate on gep-ed over flying, and received back an 
interesting response from one individual that I thought worth sharing:   

> A few months back I tried to organize a climate finance panel at an 
> anthropology conference, but we were unable to get enough participants 
> because of people's concern about flying more than their carbon quota for 
> that year. 

> 

> To register for the conference you had to be there in person, so increased 
> climate consciousness on the part of my colleagues resulted in less climate 
> change research being represented at the main anthropology conference in 
> North America. 


I submit this not as an advocate for flying, but as someone who flies all the 
time for non-academic reasons, feels guilty about it, can’t figure out a way to 
stop, and so is unavoidably receptive to justifications for it…. 

Happy summer 

 everyone,

Charlie Chester

[gep-ed] Summary of responses re: "UNEP" vs. "UN Environment" in the real world

[Charles Chester]

Hi everyone,

Wow—thanks all, for a very helpful set of replies. Here are the illuminating 
responses in reverse chronological order, alternating green/orange:

Kia ora all,

This is what I heard from a UNEP staff member of 25 years, currently working in 
an outposted office. It supports what Jonathan Krueger and Ken Conca have said 
already:

"The term UN Environment was brought in by Erik Solheim, the Executive Director 
(ED) who joined in 2016 and resigned last month under a cloud.  

UN headquarters has never accepted the term UN Environment, nor did the UNEP 
governing body, the United Nations Environment Assembly. Any correspondence 
from the UN Secretary General's office only ever mentions United Nations 
Environment Programme or UNEP, never UN Environment. The day the ED resigned 
many of us gleefully returned to using UNEP.  We hope that the incoming ED will 
revert to using the legally mandated and well-liked names."

All good wishes, 
Wendy Jackson


I’d also note that the new Secretary-General announcement for the 
organization’s Executive Director, uses the UNEP “brand”
 
https://www.un.org/sg/sites/www.un.org.sg/files/files/fr/other-vacancies/UNEP-USG_EN.pdf
 
<https://www.un.org/sg/sites/www.un.org.sg/files/files/fr/other-vacancies/UNEP-USG_EN.pdf>
 
wil


My understanding is that this was more of a re-branding exercise, than an 
actual (legal) name change. The (now departed) Executive Director when he 
started wanted fewer acronyms used and a more ''relatable'' public face for the 
organization. However, the name itself was not formally changed (though staff 
were instructed, as Ken says, to use it religiously) and some member states are 
on record as having not been so supportive of this (somewhat unilateral) 
re-branding exercise. Formal/legal documents (e.g. for UNEA, or contracts) 
still use UNEP. So no, should not be shunned for still saying UNEP as it is 
actually still the official name!

Best,
Jonathan Krueger


My experience completely accords with Ken’s response!
—sv

The name is now UN Environment but they still use the acronym UNEP (see for 
example the just-released 2018 Emissions Gap report: 
https://www.unenvironment.org/resources/emissions-gap-report-2018 
<https://www.unenvironment.org/resources/emissions-gap-report-2018> --in which 
the official/recommended citation is UNEP as author). In my experience the goal 
is to get people saying UN Environment, and staff will do so in presentations, 
press releases, etc, but UNEP is still in wide conversational use. Some folks 
on this list will recall all the gymnastics around IUCN name changes over the 
years, while preserving the acronym …kc


This is indeed a current debate and many scholars and policymakers are finding 
it difficult to decide which name to use. I just convened a workshop on 
international environmental governance with the support of the Nordic Council 
of Ministers and during the two days we deliberated, we all used UNEP. The 
official name remains United Nations Environment Programme and UNEP is valid. 
Indeed, some governments strongly prefer not to use UN Environment.
 
I think the broad consensus at the moment is that when you speak with people 
who know the system well and the organizations within it, you use UNEP. When 
you speak to a wider public and want to refer to the environmental organization 
in the UN system in a way that people who do not know the UN well can easily 
identify what you are talking about, you say UN Environment.
 
Since Erik Solheim, the Executive Director who led the name change, has stepped 
down, it is not clear what will happen with the new name. I would therefore 
suggest that you use UN Environment Programme, UN Environment and UNEP 
depending on the audience. You will certainly not be shunned, avoided or 
socially ostracized for saying UNEP! ☺
 
I’d be glad to hear your own opinion about the various names and the reaction 
from students and others that you have experienced.
 
Warm regards,
Maria


UNEP is fine. Most people with any experience in the organization will continue 
to call it that. 


UN Environment was the brainchild of Erik Solheim, who thought that it was more 
memorable and a better brand.  Solheim, of course, is gone now, so it may be 
that the rebranding went with him! 

Even during Solheim's tenure, the name was never formally changed, UN reports 
continued to refer to UNEP, and many UN staffers did as well.  I don't think 
you'll be shunned either way! 

Cheers,
John H. Knox


I call it Whatup. Is that wrong??

I’ll leave you all to guess who wrote the last (viz., first in) one….

[gep-ed] "UNEP" vs. "UN Environment" in the real world

[Charles Chester]

Hi gep-eders,

I’ve not been to an international environmental conference for a few years, so 
I have a question of protocol for you all: will I be shunned, avoided, and 
socially ostracized if I say the term “UNEP” in public? 

In all seriousness, I understand "UN Environment” is what the organization 
wants to be called…but are people generally saying “UN Environment" these days 
in international fora? And does the difference between saying “UNEP" and "UN 
Environment” matter in any consequential way at all?

I should emphasize that I really have no agenda with these questions…they are 
asked out of cloistered ignorance and curiosity…and I suppose I should be 
saying the right thing to my students…..

As usual, if you want to send me your response, I’ll collate them and send out.

Many thanks,  

Charlie Chester

[gep-ed] Reminder of web resource: GEP-guide.net

[Charles Chester]

Hi gep-eders,
 
Just a reminder of a resource some of your students might find helpful: 
GEP-guide.net. 

As some of you might recall, I’ve been building this info nexus website 
(formerly named ieinfo.net ) mostly as a resource for my 
students—but also as an informal way of tracking the growth and development of 
our field. 

For those of you who may have visited before and found some scrambled text, 
since last year I have learned all about “web safe fonts,” pull-down menus, and 
a number of other tricks that do marvels in making websites actually work. It’s 
still nothing more than a spruced up set of links, but organized in a way that 
someone might find helpful. I should note that while I have had some student 
assistance with individual pages, this is a one old-dog-new-trick show...so 
many pages are pretty sparse. But again, the general outline might be helpful 
is allowing students to see the depth and breadth (& converse) of global 
environmental politics.

As always, I welcome suggestions/critiques/additions/edits/off-topic-rants/etc. 
Please forward to me at charles.ches...@gmail.com 
.

Hope you are all having a great start to the semester, 

Charlie Chester

[gep-ed] Egypt/climate migrants - document request for "EACH-FOR"

[Charles Chester]

Hi GEP-eders,

I have a student writing a senior thesis on climate change, refugees, and IDPs 
in Egypt. She is trying to locate a document entitled: 

> The Impact of Environmental Factors on Migration in Egypt: Case Study Report 
> for the EACH-FOR Project by T. Afifi

The links at the website where it came from are down, and her efforts to 
contact them haven’t panned out. I tried to locate it as well, but no luck. If 
anybody has a copy, could you do the great favor of forwarding it to me?

Many thanks,

[gep-ed] Need help finding COP23 opening plenary video [Fwd: Vigil Tonight 6PM State House]

[Charles Chester]

Hi gep-eders,

I’m hoping somebody out there can help me find my way to the official webcast 
of the opening session of COP23 earlier today (I need it by 3:30pm Eastern 
Time, USA). The good news is that there are a couple YouTube videos already 
available (just Google <>), so those will do in a pinch, 
but the official videos have English translation. They are nominally located 
here <https://unfccc.cloud.streamworld.de/ondemand> (the SBSTA opening and 
several side events are there now), but the full opening session isn’t yet 
listed. I’m guessing that I’m missing something simple…can anyone fill me in?

I’m forwarding an email below from 350-Massachusetts on a vigil tonight for 
“international climate collaboration” as well as statewide efforts—just an 
example of the local-global nexus.

Many thanks,

Charlie Chester

[gep-ed] Resource: "COP23 Gateway" for students

[Charles Chester]

Hi gep-eders,

I put together a “COP23 Gateway ” for my students, and 
thought some of you might find it helpful. If anyone has any additional ideas 
or edits to what I’ve posted, I’d welcome your input.

I’ll also use this as a chance to plug for a recent article I co-authored 
entitled “Ecosystem services from transborder migratory species: Implications 
for conservation governance

[gep-ed] Website resource for International Environmental Information

[Charles Chester]

Hi GEP-eders,

Facing several critical deadlines this summer, I’ve been busy procrastinating 
with the development of an international environmental information website 
called “ieinfo.net ”.

This site began as a way of trying to answering student research questions 
efficiently…and grew into something fairly large and substantial-ish. Although 
most everyone on this mailing list will find the site a wannabe non-qualifier 
compared to a Lydeckyan Google search, ieinfo.net might be something your 
students could use as they meander the Intrawebulars in search of intellectual 
stimulus or term paper fodder.

Best wishes for a great start to the fall semester,

Charlie Chester
