This is a list of environmental organizations.
Intergovernmental organizations
International organizations and bodies established through international agreements or other commitments to protect the environment:
- Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC)
- European Environment Agency (EEA)
- Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
- UNEO (United Nations Environment Organization)
- UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme)
- Institute for Environmental Security. The Institute for Environmental Security (IES) is an international non-profit non-governmental organisation established in 2002 in The Hague, in order to increase political attention to environmental security as a means to help safeguard essential conditions for peace and sustainable development.
There are also environmental Intergovernmental Organizations that group governments at the regional and local level, as distinguishable from the national level. Examples are the network of regional governments for sustainable development [1], the ICLEI-Local governments for sustainability [2] and the Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA) [3]. These organizations use the method of open coordination to share policy best practice and provide assistance and counsel to partners on issues related to environmental development following the UN Millennium Agenda. These networks can be seen as international organisations and have observer status in the different UN environmental organizations.
