CNIE - Committee for the National Institute for the Environment (USA)
CNIE's mission is to improve the scientific basis for making decisions
on environmental issues through institutional reform of the federal
government and the creation of a nonregulatory science agency known as
the National Institute for the Environment (NIE). The National Library for the Environment,
a project of the CNIE, addresses the need for objective,
scientifically sound information on environmental issues.
It will eventually include three on-line components:
Congressional Research Service Reports,
An Encyclopedia of the Environment, In Depth Issues in the Environment.
EEA - European Environmental Agency
The main goal of the EEA and its wider network, EIONET, is to deliver high quality environmental information
to the European Union and the Member States, as well as to the general public.
The Future 500
The Future 500 is a network of innovative leaders from business, technology, science, and the
environment, devoted to achieving a Factor Four improvement in productivity.
Factor Four means a fourfold improvement in the amount of value we
derive from every unit of every productive resource we use.
UNEP - United Nations Environment Programme
UNEP was established as a programme of the United Nations General Assembly as a result of the 1972 Stockholm
Conference on the Human Environment.
