Anywhere you go on campus, you can find a professor whose research is turning heads. Environmental law professor Noah Sachs is taking it up a notch with a recent paper about the Paris climate agreement’s uncertain future — and Vox is paying attention. 

Sachs’ paper in Ecology Law Quarterly provided the background information for a Vox article this week that looked ahead at what could happen with the international climate treaty.

“In an anarchic international system with no hegemon and no sovereign enforcement power, it is difficult to bring nations together in consensus and then sustain cooperation over time,” Sachs wrote. That is more true of climate change than of almost any other problem, according to the article. 

The research being done on our campus is helping inform some of our nation’s biggest news stories — and we couldn’t be more proud to be part of it.
