About the project

The project study the interaction between Norwegian and Amazonian agricultural policy for climate change. This project seeks to contribute to the general objective of the LEG-ARCH project: to better understand the causes and consequences of the legal architecture of climate policies. The study analyses climate policy across Norway and the Amazonian States Ecuador and Colombia, focusing on the agriculture policy domain (fisheries and forestry). It investigates the interaction between conservation initiatives for Ecuador and Colombia recently funded in Norway, and national/local regulations and conservation practices in these two Amazonian countries.
