The GEG Project began in 1998 as a series of dialogues among individuals from around the
world interested in the future of global environmental governance. A diverse group,
consisting of individuals from various countries and disciplines, has continued to gather
regularly to discuss approaches to and methods for improving the current response to
international environmental challenges. One recent, important product of this collaborative
effort is the 2002 book, Global Environmental Governance: Options & Opportunities
(Daniel C. Esty and Maria H. Ivanova, editors), which we released at the World Summit
on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg, South Africa.
In the wake of the WSSD, the need for a new architecture for global governance is visibly acute.
Although the multitude of public-private partnerships announced at the Summit represent a positive
development in international and multi-sector collaboration, these commitments cannot substitute for
coordinated intergovernmental action at a global level.
We intend this site to serve both as an informational resource and as a vehicle for virtual exchange
and discussion. Please explore the information provided, and feel free to contact us at
gegproject@yale.edu with questions about the project or suggestions for additional resources.
The Global Environmental Governance Project is operated under the auspices of the Yale Center for
Environmental Law and Policy, a collaborative research center of Yale Law School and the Yale School
of Forestry & Environmental Studies.
