IELRC

The International Environmental Law Research Centre is an independent research organisation focusing on international and comparative environmental law issues, with a particular emphasis on India and East Africa. The aim of the IELRC is to contribute to the establishment and implementation of legal and institutional frameworks that foster the sustainable conservation and use of the environment and natural resources in an equitable international context. IELRC provides a unique forum for collaborative research between researchers in the North and South. It is uniquely positioned to provide policy-relevant research at the international level given its strong network of competence in the North and the South and the location of two of its offices in Geneva and Nairobi where some of the most significant international environmental governance decisions are taken.
