Dear GEP-ed Colleagues, I would like to identify one or more environmental news services that I can look to for timely updates on environmental policy developments around the globe. Can anyone recommend their favorite source (beyond our beloved Earth Negotiations Bulletin)? I realize that many news sources will be specific to an issue area or region. That's quite alright - I'd just like to get a sense of what is out there so that I might regularly follow one or more of them and look to the archives of others when updating material.

Re: enviro news services?
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) runs a fantastic service offering around 20-30 news headlines (with web links to the articles) every weekday, covering issues such as climate change, agricultural biotechnology, chemicals, endangered species, forest biodiversity and more general environmental topics. They used to send out daily emails (to which I am still subscribed), but now they appear to have switched to RSS feeds: http://www.cbd.int/rss/ (Look for the RSS feed 'Daily Headlines') It's a good way to keep up to date...

I forgot to mention that they also have an excellent, searchable archive: http://www.cbd.int/information/news.shtml Hannes Dr. Wil Burns wrote: One of the best services for climate change policy is Carbon Positive News: http://www.carbonpositive.net/ Dr. Wil Burns, Editor in Chief Journal of International Wildlife Law Policy 1702 Arlington Blvd. El Cerrito, CA 94530 USA Ph: 650.281.9126 Fax: 510.779.5361 ji...@internationalwildlifelaw.org http://www.jiwlp.com SSRN site: http://ssrn.com/author=240348 Skype ID: Wil.Burns -Original Message- From: owner-gep...@listserve1.allegheny.edu [mailto:owner-gep...@listserve1.allegheny.edu] On Behalf Of Paul Steinberg Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 9:22 AM To: 'Global Environmental Politics Education ListServe' Subject: enviro news services?

Re: enviro news services?
Hi Paul et al, My favorite environmental news services are Grist ( of course) and Planet Ark. With much fanfare, UCB and UCLA have launched a joint environmental policy blog, purportedly written by law professors (so potentially less news more opinion): http://legalplanet.wordpress.com/ kate On Mar 12, 2009, at 9:22 AM, Paul Steinberg wrote: Dear GEP-ed Colleagues, I would like to identify one or more environmental news services that I can look to for timely updates on environmental policy developments around the globe.

RE: enviro news services?
Paul, I use ENS-news http://www.ens-newswire.com/, the environmental research web newswire http://environmentalresearchweb.org/cws/home(environmentalresearchweb, the Earth Portal's news site (http://www.earthportal.org/news/, and Planet Ark's world news section http://www.planetark.com/enviro-news/. More useful (and fun) for tracking daily news by world region is the newseum site: http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/flash/. It gives you today's front page of newspapers in hundreds of world cities, albeit mostly nonenvironmental news. Just roll your mouse over the relevant cities/regions to see front page stories, then click to read. Cheers, Monty ___ Lamont (Monty) C.
