ENVIRONMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY: A new mailing list has now been established by the International Association of People-Environment Studies (IAPS) to serve researchers undertaking environmental psychology and environment-behaviour research. The EnvPsy mailing list provides a discussion forum for those who undertake research in environmental psychology. It will be of interest to psychologists, geographers, planners, architects, sociologists and all other disciplines which have an interest in people-environment transactions. To join the EnvPsy list, send an email message to mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk with this command in the body of the message:

join EnvPsy firstname lastname where firstname and lastname are your own personal names (e.g. join EnvPsy Bill Clinton). The Mailbase computer will then send you a message asking you to confirm your subscription by posting back a code. This is a security measure to stop people faking email addresses.

DECISION CRITERIA UNDER UNCERTAINTY AND THE CLIMATE PROBLEM: CICERO Working Paper 1999:10 “Decision criteria under uncertainty and the climate problem” by Camilla Bretteville examines some of the decision criteria suggested by theories on decision making under uncertainty. This is done by applying the criteria to the problem of global warming. The question asked is: If there were a benevolent planner, would he know the best climate policy for the world today? It is shown that even if there was a benevolent planner who is both supranational and supragenerational, and even if he had a well-defined intergenerational welfare function, there are still remaining problems. The paper is available at:

http://www.cicero.uio.no/~ftp/publications/Workingpapers/wp1999-10.pdf

CICERO Report 1999:8 “The European Community and climate protection: What’s behind the ’empty rhetoric’?” by Lasse Ringius shows that the EC in general expects that it is relatively inexpensive to implement climate policy within the EC and that its climate policy strategy from the beginning has been heavily influenced by the notion of environmental leadership. The defensive positions taken by the United States and Japan in the global climate negotiations have made EC environmental leadership seem simultaneously economically, environmentally and politically beneficial, and political and environmental interests have pushed EC climate policy to go further than what it otherwise would have been.

WATER, WATER NOWHERE? A new report of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, entitled “Water and Global Climate Change” is now available for downloading on the Pacific Institute site: www.pacinst.org/climate.hmtl. The report, authored by Kenneth Frederick of Resources for the Future and Peter Gleick of the Institute, identifies the potential impacts of climate change on both the quantity and quality of water supplies in the United State that may result from possible changes in stream flows, increased storm surges and higher temperatures.

WHAT A GAS! The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has issued a new report presenting its baseline forecast of methane emissions from the major anthropogenic sources in the U.S. and its cost estimates of reducing these emissions. Emission estimates are given for 1990 through 1997 with projections for 2000 to 2020. The cost analysis is for 2000, 2010, and 2020. Methane is a valuable energy resource and the leading anthropogenic contributor to global climate change after carbon dioxide. The report, U.S. Methane Emissions 1990 – 2020: Inventories, Projections, and Opportunities for Reductions, is at www.epa.gov/ghginfo/new.htm. In addition, the annual U.S. inventory of greenhouse gas emissions and sinks (1990-1997) can be found on the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/globalwarming/inventory

ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORIES: A special issue of the journal ‘Land Degradation & Development’ (ISSN 1085-3278) on “Environmental Histories, Access to Resources and Landscape Change” [vol 10(4): 279-396, 1999] contains seven papers by geographers and Historians. The papers arose from a conviction that ‘resource use

histories’ help explain contemporary and past landscapes, and that more sophistication is required in their analysis. In particular,

methodological and theoretical commonalities between political ecologists and environmental historians are explored. The editors are Simon Batterbury and Tony Bebbington.

‘Ecological Tax Reform in Germany – From Theory to Policy

Michael Kohlhaas, German Institute for Economic Research, Berlin

On April 1, 1999, a law on a “first step towards an ecological tax reform” came into effect in Germany. An ecological tax reform was one of the projects to which the new German government had given a high priority and the law was passed less than half a year after the new government came to power. The reform, however, is highly

controversial, hailed as a “central project of the modern age” by some proponents and denounced by opponents as a misguided attempt to satisfy the government’s need for increased revenue and an impediment to economic growth and employment. See:

ENVIRONMENT & SECURITY: Woodrow Wilson Center ECSP Report Issue 5, published by The Woodrow Wilson Center’s Environmental Change and Security Project, is a tool for researchers, policymakers, and

NEW ANALYSIS OF PER CAPITA EMISSIONS: The Australia Institute has completed a new analysis of per capita emissions for the 35 Annex B countries. The calculations are based on the official communications submitted by the various nations to the UNFCCC. They apply to emissions of the three main greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) in 1995 from all sources and all sinks measured in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2-e).

The results show that Australia has the world_s highest greenhouse gas emissions per person at 26.7 tonnes; this is twice the average level for all other wealthy countries (13.4 tonnes) and 25% higher than emissions per person in the USA (21.2 tonnes). The next highest emitters after Australia are Luxembourg, USA, Canada and New Zealand. The Institute will be pleased to email copies of the report (9 pages) to interested people. Simply send a request to mail@tai.org.au

REVIEWS

Moon, Paul, 1999 The Sealord Deal. Palmerston North, NZ: Campus Press. Reviewed by: S.W. Brendel-Lautensach, Ph.D., Institute for Negotiation Research, NZ.

The Sealord Deal, signed in 1992, probably represents the single most significant settlement under the Treaty of Waitangi in New Zealand’s history. The scope of the deal saw traditional Maori fisheries rights and non-commercial fisheries claims outlined in the Treaty to be traded for ownership in Sealord Products Ltd. With a total quantity of 40,000 tonnes of fish processed in 1991, and a yearly income of more than NZ $ 250 mill, Sealord Products Ltd. was the largest fish processor in Australasia.

In 1991, the New Zealand Government had decided to buy most or all of the company on behalf of the Maori of New Zealand as a chance to settle outstanding Maori settlement claims held against the Crown. Some Maori tribes, like the Ngai Tahu felt that ‘our mana on our waters is not for sale, ..the clear threat to our taonga has occasioned considerable anger’. (p. 90) It was felt that the Maori taonga “in terms of fisheries has a depth and breadth that goes beyond quantitative and material questions of catch volumes and cash incomes. It encompasses a deep sense of conservation and responsibility to the future which colours Maori thinking, attitude and behaviour about their fisheries.” (p. 28).

Despite strong protest from members of the Maoridom, the National Government managed to push the deal through Parliament. As a result of competing interpretations of the principles and provisions of the Treaty of Waitangi, a deep split between various Maori groups over the future of the deal (and the distribution of its assets) continues to this day.

Paul Moon’s account of the historical facts leading to the Sealord Deal and the subsequent battle fought over the interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi lacks analysis of Western concepts of resource management versus indigenous worldviews of nature. Despite this omission, the book is an excellent and comprehensive description of the Sealord deal and a must read for those interested in bicultural environmental negotiation.
