The MJSDL provides a forum in which the world’s leading scholars exchange ideas on the intersection between law, development, the environment, economics, and society. Over the past quarter-century, determining how to enrich our world in a more sustainable fashion has become an imperative, especially given the impact of development on the environment and human rights. Despite this pressing need for new ideas, there are few outlets for informed and focused commentary on sustainability, particularly in Canada. In response to this void, students at the Faculty of Law of McGill University established the MJSDL, a student-run, peer-reviewed academic journal, in 2004.

“The McGill Journal of Sustainable Development Law (MJSDL), is pleased to present a podcast on the Paris Agreement, inspired by the MJSDL's colloquium this past January. We discussed with our panelists a variety of ideas such as, what the Paris Agreement was, what it represents for the international community, and who the key players were as we move through the implementation phase of the agreement. Thank you to all of the panelists who agreed to be interviewed, and to all of the journal members who helped us organize the interviews on the day of the colloquium.

Global migration has stirred questions of human rights, democracy, of living together, of ‘us and them.’ The philosopher Charles Taylor and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Migrants, McGill professor François Crépeau, explore these and other questions at a time of rising populism and what may be called the fear of others.
