History of IEEP
History of IEEP
IEEP has a rich and illustrious history stretching back over 40 years. It has been present in several European countries over that time focusing largely on European environmental policy but always with an eye to the wider world too.
After the UK’s exit from the European Union, the Board of IEEP wished to retain a strong presence in the UK and influence the development of a new generation of environmental governance arrangements and policies. At the same time, IEEP continues to work in the EU to influence and engage with policy makers in Brussels and elsewhere to shape the acquis, the set of laws that the European Union lives by.
