Wildfires and Climate Change in the Euro-Mediterranean Countries

Viewing the recent wild fires totaling to extensive forest destruction in the South European countries, due, among others, to environmental degradation and climate change phenomenon, the European Institute of Law, Science and Technology (EILST) has undertaken pro bono a major, large-scale project regarding reconstruction and region-building. Our first case study is Southwestern Greece, and specifically the Municipality of Zacharo, since forest destruction due to wild fires has been the fiercest there.

Establishent of an International Climate Change Center in Greece

The Climate Change Program of the EILST initiates the establishment of the International Climate Change Center for Greece, Southeast Europe, and the Mediterranean in order to raise awareness, conduct research and provide solutions regarding the climate change impacts on the region, which is considered to be among the vulnerable regions to climate change. The establishment of the Center aims to mitigation and adaptation, through, inter alia, consulting for the public and private sectors in Greece and Southeast Europe. The EILST has already initiated consultations with major universities and research centers abroad in order the Climate Change Center to gather the best expertise possible and to serve as a clearing house for every relevant information for the region.

GSPs Re-design for Sustainable Development

Developing Countries and Generalized System of Preferences: a dubious relationship. The EILST proposes new ways for the re-design and re-orientation of a traditionally trade instrument, the Generalized System of Preferences schemes, for the promotion of sustainable development and the developmental needs of Developing Countries. The Project was completed in 2006 and ended up with a publication.

Technology-Enforcing Legislation

This project is ongoing. The results of the Project are to be publiced soon.

Aviation Law, Energy and Climate Change

Work in Progress.

Climate Change: Legal Defense

The EILST is compiling a report on possible ways for addressing damages caused by Climate Change international, regional and national courts. Scientific and technological issues challenge the traditional understanding of the legal issues at stake. Review the recent U.S. litigation on Climate Change cases and hypothetical cases before international tribunals! Special focus on Clean Development Mechanism Litigation under the Kyoto Protocol. The Project pays special attention on issues that particularly Developing Countries, LDCs and Small Islands might face due to the Climate Change phenomenon.

Global Administrative Environmental Law-(GAEL)

Read our first Publication. A second publication is to be published soon.

E-library

The EILST is compiling a major project of resources on law, science and technology with open access to the public. The part on "National and International Legislation for Genetically Modified Organisms' is already completed.
