The Innovation in Governance Programs work to develop inventive approaches to new or entrenched environmental problems and changing technologies and economies. The programs focus on four objectives:

  • Investigate and promote innovative approaches to managing government agencies and private businesses that will achieve greater environmental protection.
  • Safeguard and strengthen the safety net of federal environmental law, its enforcement in the courts, and its state implementation through strategic research, education, and outreach.
  • Improve understanding of environmental governance tools by hosting visiting scholars and international delegations.
  • Through ELI’s Center for Business Environmental Strategy, provide information, ideas and tools for corporate environmental lawyers and executives to improve environmental management.
