The Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) is a leading centre for the analysis and development of environmental and related policies in Europe. An independent, not for profit organisation, the Institute has offices in London and Brussels. IEEP brings a non-partisan analytical perspective to policy questions, engaging in both pressing short-term questions and long-term strategic studies.
Its focus is primarily on European Union (EU) environmental and sustainable development policies, and relevant aspects of other policies such as agriculture, transport, rural and regional development, climate change, industrial pollution and fisheries. IEEP is actively engaged in the development of policy at a national level in Europe. The Institute seeks both to raise awareness of the policies that shape the European environment and to advance policy-making along sustainable paths.
IEEP undertakes research and analysis and provide consultancy and information services, working both independently and on commissioned projects. Institute’s partners and audience range from international and European institutions to local government, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), industry and others who contribute to the policy debate.
IEEP operates in a network with like minded institutes. The interdisciplinary team of staff includes lawyers and natural and social scientists with experience of working in a wide range of European countries. IEEP collaborates closely with a network of associates in universities, other specialist institutes and consultancy organisations spread across the continent.
