Agreement Lists:
Lists of agreements with links to text, membership, performance data, secretariat, and summary statistics. Over 900 multilaterals, 1500 bilaterals, and 250 "other". Grouped by Date, Subject, and "Lineage" of legally-related agreements (e.g., those related to the Montreal Protocol). "Other" includes environmental agreements between governments and international organizations or non-state actors, rather than 2 or more governments.

Performance Data
Datasets of over 150 environmental indicators (from secretariats or scholars) linked to the IEAs trying to improve them, for use in assessing the influence/effectiveness of IEAs, e.g., whale harvest (1910-2005); acid rain emissions (1980-2005); and emissions of ozone depleting substances (1986-2005). Use the Performance Data link or the "Data" links in each Agreement list.

Commonly Researched Agreements
Coded Agreements
Compare provisions among over 150 multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) that the IEA Database Project has coded. For example: agreements having withdrawal clauses can be selected; the membership or entry-into-force provisions of numerous agreements can be compared; or the implementation mechanisms of a range of agreements can be systematically evaluated.
View Coded Agreements
Relevant Literature
Currently under development, this component seeks to identify 5 to 10 books, articles, or chapters related to specific IEAs or lineages as "starting points" for students and scholars.
