Volume 11 of PON's series on International Environmental Negotiation includes an eclectic group of papers. They range from Kashmir to the Nile and cover resource distribution and conservation, the role of women and indigenous peoples in reaching consensus, the rights of nonhuman animals, and innovative ways to reach international agreement, among other diverse topics. If there is a theme to the papers of 2002, it is the need to include as wide a range of opinion as possible in deciding how to live in, use, and sustain the environment. Reaching workable strategies requires "buy-in" at all levels, from remote villages to the United Nations.
