Organisation Outline:
The Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) is an independent centre for the analysis and development of policies affecting the environment in
Europe and beyond, undertaking research and consultancy work on the development, implementation and evaluation of environmental and environment-related
policies in Europe.
IEEP was first established in 1976. The Institute is based in London and Brussels and has partnerships with other organisations which have grown from the
original IEEP network: Ecologic (Institute for International and European Environmental Policy, Berlin) and IEEP Madrid (Instituto para la Politica Ambiental
Europea). It is a not-for-profit organisation and its main funders, sponsors and clients include The European Commission, The European Environment Agency,
National Ministries, UK statutory agencies and non-governmental bodies.
IEEP seeks to engage directly with relevant policy debates and works closely with the full range of policy actors from international agencies, and the EU
institutions, to national government departments, NGOs and academics. The Institute seeks both to raise awareness of European environmental policy and
to advance policy-making along sustainable paths. The range of IEEP policy interests is wide and is listed in full on the website, with links to full descriptions.
IEEP maintains a comprehensive database of EU environmental law and policy, producing regular updates for the Manual of Environmental Policy: the EU and
Britain. Full details of the manual and a sample chapter can be obtained on the website.
