Welcome to ELI's Environmental Governance Programs

The ELI Environmental Governance Programs works to develop inventive approaches to new or entrenched environmental problems and changing technologies and economies. The programs focuses 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.
