A study center billed as the world 's first legal research center into climate change will be opened in Canberra, Australia, on Friday, a statement from the Australian National University said on Wednesday.

Subjects on the researchers' agenda include the international legal regime for tackling climate change post-Kyoto, climate litigation, encouraging renewable energy, and the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from transport and forestry.

The center is located in the Australian National University ( ANU). The ANU Center for Climate Law and Policy has been established in response to a growing awareness of the legal dimensions of global warming, the statement said.

The center will offer postgraduate courses in climate law and policy, as well as conduct research.
