further research and debate on the nexus of environment and development issues at the local, national, regional, and international levels. JED provides a forum that bridges the parallel debates among policy makers, attorneys, academics, business people, and NGO activists worldwide. A current article: "Land-Use Planning, Digital Technologies, and Environmental Conservation in Tanzania" by Chris Huggins.
Energy & Environment is an interdisciplinary journal inviting energy policy analysts, natural scientists and engineers, as well as lawyers and economists to contribute to mutual understanding and learning, believing that better communication between experts will enhance the quality of policy, advance social well-being and help to reduce conflict.
