Abstract This article analyses the relevance of investment and investment law in the environmental policy agenda post-Rio 2012. It is intended as a call for the mainstreaming of investment and investment law considerations in future negotiations concerning the environment.

Significance Perez won the DNC chair position in the first contested party leadership election in more than a decade. He will help formulate the Democrats’ near-term response to the party’s November election loss and help formulate future policy and strategy. Impacts Republican leaders in Congress will struggle to set the policy agenda with an uncooperative White House in the limelight. Left-wing Democrats will oppose environmental policy concessions to help vulnerable moderates in Appalachia and the West. Control over post-2020 electoral boundary redistricting will prove an added incentive for embracing party unity on both sides.
