About IEEP

The Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) is an independent and influential research organisation studying policies affecting the environment in Europe and beyond. We undertake research and consultancy on the development, implementation and evaluation of environmental and environment-related policies in Europe. We work closely with the full range of policy actors from international agencies and the EU institutions to national government departments, NGOs and academics. Our aim is to raise awareness of European environmental policy and to a dvance policy-making along sustainable paths.

Our research work involves both pressing short-term policy issues and long-term strategic studies. Our project portfolio varies from year to year but we are committed to being at the forefront of thinking about the environmental aspects of EU policies and keeping an open dialogue with policymakers and stakeholders.

IEEP has an interdisciplinary staff including lawyers and natural and social scientists with experience in several European countries. We have offices in London and Brussels and a network of partners in other European countries. We also work closely with universities, specialist institutes and consultancy organisations. The London office of IEEP was founded in 1980, the Brussels office in 2001. We are a registered charity.
