站在十字路口的全球环境法
2012年7月1日至5日

马里兰大学—弗朗西斯·金·卡雷法学院
马里兰州 巴尔的摩 巴尔的摩西大街500号 21201

2012年是斯德哥尔摩人类环境大会的40周年和里约地球峰会20周年。然而，六月，世界首脑们齐聚联合国"RIO+20"会议时，他们将面临一个前所未有的挑战氛围。尽管公众环境意识在不断地提高，但改善环境管治的努力却被全球金融危机所阻，而且针对后京都时代气候变化的共识也无法达成。世界自然保护同盟第十届年度大会将讨论未来全球环境法与联合国RIO+20会议之后的环境治理的替代路径。以下是本次大会的亮点所在：

• 超过150位来自30多个国家的专家学者齐聚一堂；
• 开幕餐会与艾迪斯·布朗·魏依斯的主题发言将在巴尔的摩国家海洋馆举行；
• 会前举办生态补偿与全球环境法诊所的小型研讨会；
• 会后去华盛顿特区世界银行参观；
• 可选择的会后活动有：帕图克森国家野生动物保护区参观、巴尔的摩金莺队的大联盟棒球比赛、美国独立日烟火表演或者巴尔的摩港海蟹游轮；
• 国际红酒品评会与环境电影节

特别活动：

以下活动包含在注册费用中：

巴尔的摩国家海洋公园开幕晚宴
7月2日，我们将在巴尔的摩国家海洋馆举行开幕晚宴与主题发言，在那儿我们预定了3号观览厅，您将可以从晚间7点至11点一边参观一边吃饭。主题发言将于晚上8点左右在巴尔的摩国家海洋馆的大礼堂举行。热忱欢迎所有的大会注册成员前往参加。该活动无需附加费用，除非注册的是不包含本活动的7月2日费用。届时，马里兰大学法学院的学生会于六点左右在酒店引导与会人员沿着内港路线步行至宴会处。如果您对该步行线路有兴趣的话，请于报到时进行登记。

环境法律电影展播
近十年来，珀西瓦尔教授的环境法课程的学生们热衷于一项 不一般的作业 : 成立小组制作关于环境议题的短片。这项不打分的作业主要是让学生思考如何与公众沟通复杂的规制政策。随着Youtube和其他视频网站的兴起，数字影片制作成为了一项影响公众意见的工具。今年，大会鼓励与会者提交其自己的学生或其他没有参会人员制作或赞助的影片，并于2012年7月3日晚间进行展播。欲参考前些年学生们制作的影片，可以访问 Digital Commons. 。影片长度限制在六分钟以内并与6月15日之前提交。请将您的影片上传至YouTube或电邮给Jill Smith (Email住址會使用灌水程式保護機制。你需要啟動Javascript才能觀看它)

国际红酒品评会——保护地球的自然之酬谢
过去20年的每年秋季，马里兰大学法学院的环境法项目都会举办 红酒品评会，作为环境法专业的校友们聚会和联络的机会。2012年，由于很荣幸地举办世界自然保护同盟环境法学院年度大会，我们将举办两次红酒品评会——其中一次将在7月3日举行。我们期望您能加入我们，共度一个全球美酒之夜。从您的国度带一瓶好酒来与大家分享吧！

抵消

重要启示：请在注册本次大会之前阅读本部分

根据世界自然保护同盟环境法学院指导委员会过去三年的批准，今年马里兰的大会组织者希望为与会者提供自愿参加两项抵消计划的机会，它们是：碳抵消与合作抵消。

• 碳抵消
  我们鼓励今年参与的所有人员抵消其碳排放。我们认识到选择作为碳信用供给者的意愿是一项非常个人化的意愿。您或许想了解TerraPass 该基金项目是一项减少温室气体排放的项目，包括农业动力、填埋场气体捕捉、废弃煤矿甲烷捕捉以及清洁能源。 马里兰环境法联合会 (MELS) , 是法学院学生的环保组织， 一直与TerraPass合作，支持这些项目并减少碳排放。
• 合作抵消
  不论您是否知晓，联合国环境规划署今年将不再赞助我们来自非经合组织国家的成员。所以，我们寻求经合组织国家机构成员的支持，以赞助一个或多个来自非经合组织机构成员的人员参会。经过我们的计算，如果可行的话，每人平均需要2170美元。为了形成合作，让更多的人参与大会，我们倡导您赞助来自非经合组织国家的成员，大会将专门组织合适的形式来感谢这些支持。请查看您登记表上的选项来确认您的赞助，以及赞助金额。

Special Events

The following events are included in the regular registration fee:

Opening Dinner at the National Aquarium Baltimore
On July 2nd, we will hold the Opening Dinner and Keynote Address at the National Aquarium Baltimore where we have reserved the Pier 3 building along with its exhibits for this private event. You’ll be able to mingle, explore and eat from 7:00-11:00pm. The keynote address will be given at approximately 8:00pm in the auditorium of the National Aquarium Baltimore. All colloquium registrants are welcomed and encouraged to attend. There will be no extra charge for this event except for those who register at the daily rate for July 2nd. University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law students will be leading walking tours of the Inner Harbor en route to the dinner beginning at the hotels at approximately 6:00pm. If you are interested in this walking tour, there will be a signup sheet at the registration table.

Environmental Law Film Presentations
For nearly a decade, students in Professor Percival's Environmental Law class have enjoyed an unusual assignment: to split up into small groups and make a short film about an environmental issue that concerns them. The purpose of the ungraded assignment is to make students think about how to communicate complicated regulatory policy issues to the public. With the rise of You Tube and other new media outlets, digital video-making has become a valuable tool for influencing public opinion. This year, Colloquium attendees are encouraged to submit films of their own or sponsor films for submission that are created by their students or other non-attendees in their organization to be presented on the evening of July 3rd, 2012. For examples of student-made films from previous years, please visit the Digital Commons. Film submissions must be limited to 6 minutes in length and are due by June 15th. Please upload your film onto YouTube and email the link to Jill Smith (Email住址會使用灌水程式保護機制。你需要啟動Javascript才能觀看它)

International Wine Tasting: Wine – Nature’s Thanks for Preserving the Earth
Every autumn for the last 20 years, the Environmental Law Program at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law has hosted a Wine Tasting Party which serves as a reunion for alums of The Program and a great networking opportunity, as well. In 2012, in honour of hosting the IUCN AEL Colloquium, we will have two Wine Tasting Parties – one of which will be on July 3rd. We hope you will join us for an evening of fine wines from across the globe. Feel free to bring a bottle of wine from your country to share!

Optional Activities

The following events are being offered for an additional fee as noted:

Informal Reception and Baseball Game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards
To understand Baltimore culture, it’s almost a pre-requisite to attend a Major League Baseball Game with the Baltimore Orioles. In an effort to introduce you to our culture, we would like you to join us for an American-Style Cook-Out Reception behind the bullpen at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on Sunday, July 1st immediately prior to watching the Orioles face the Cleveland Indians. This option will cost $35 per person.

Crab Cruise and Independence Day Fireworks Display
On July 4th, we hope you will join us for a traditional, All-American Independence Day Celebration (a fireworks display at the very location where Francis Scott Key wrote our National Anthem) and a Maryland summertime treat (blue crabs – if you’ve never had them before, we’ll teach you how)! We’ll board the Spirit Cruise Ship at 7:30pm and cruise through the harbor and out to the Francis Scott Key Bridge where we’ll have the best seat in town for the fireworks display! The boat will return to the harbor at 11:00pm. This option is available on the registration site and it costs $80 per person.

Field Trip to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s Patuxent Research Refuge Facility
On July 5th we will have the closing plenary session at the Law School in the morning and in the afternoon participants have the option to join a group headed to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s Patuxent Research Refuge Visitor’s Center. While there, the group will participate in a tram tour of the park (limited to 120 registrants), watch a video about the history of the facility and highlights of its accomplishments, and take a self-guided tour through their indoor exhibits and/or outdoor hiking trail. After the field trip, participants have the option of drop-off locations depending on their plans for after the conference. The buses will stop at the following locations: Greenbelt Metro (ideal if you want to tour DC or go to National Airport), Dulles Airport, BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport, or the Law School. This option is available on the registration website and will cost $20 per person.

Offsets

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION BEFORE REGISTERING FOR THE COLLOQUIUM.

As endorsed by the IUCN-AEL Governing Council for the previous three years, the organizers of this year’s Colloquium in Maryland wish to provide participants with an opportunity to participate voluntarily in two offset schemes, namely: Carbon Offsets and Collaboration Offsets.

• Carbon Offsets
  We encourage all participants to offset their carbon emissions associated with participating in this year’s Colloquium. We acknowledge that the selection of a preferred carbon credit supplier is a very personal preference. You may wish to consider TerraPass which funds projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including farm power, landfill gas capture, abandoned coal mine methane capture, and clean energy. The Maryland Environmental Law Society (MELS), the law school’s student environmental organization, has partnered with TerraPass to fund these projects and reduce carbon emissions.
• Collaboration Offsets
  As you may or may not be aware, it is unlikely that UNEP will be sponsoring the participation of our members from non-OECD countries this year. We are therefore seeking the support of our member institutions from OECD countries to sponsor the participation of one or more persons from our member institutions situated in non-OECD countries. We have calculated that it will cost on average 2170.00 USD per person to do so. In the interests of fostering collaboration and broader participation, we encourage you to sponsor non-OECD members, and Conference Organizers will provide the appropriate forum to acknowledge such support. Please check the box on the registration form to confirm your sponsorship participation, and the amount you would like to contribute.
