This paper discusses the need for universalizing environmental pacts basically to ensure that everyone involved is on the same “wavelength.” Citing language barriers, a difference in technical terms in different locations etc. the author calls for ensuring greater understanding for all parties.

I agree with the author of this paper. While I am not totally sure of how accurate or relevant her claims are of there being rampant confusion in environmental pacts, I de believe that the best case would just to be sure that there is no confusion at all. Weighing based on a risk/reward sort of mechanism, to me it makes perfect sense to put in whatever extra work required to ensure more robust pacts that are respected by those involved.
