The International Institute for Environment and Development is one of the world’s most influential international development and environmental policy research organizations. Founded in 1971 and based in London, the institute works with partners on five continents to build bridges between policy and practice, rich and poor communities, the government and private sector, and across diverse interest groups through research, advice and advocacy work.
The institute contributes to many international policy processes and frameworks, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and the United Nations conventions on climate change and biological diversity.
The organization argues for changes in public policy and aims to generate robust evidence informed by a practical perspective acquired through hands-on research with grassroots partners. Partners include other nongovernmental organizations, governments, academia, indigenous people’s groups, global institutes and multilateral agencies such as the United Nations.
