About the Global Environmental Governance (GEG) Project
Based at the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs at Northeastern University, the Global Environmental Governance (GEG) Project is a collaborative initiative that brings together policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to reimagine global environmental governance and build a more sustainable future. Our vision is advancing engaged scholarship that addresses real-world policy challenges.
Initiated in 1997 at the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy, the Global Environmental Governance Project was co-founded by Professor Maria Ivanova, then a graduate student at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, and Professor Daniel Esty. With a focus on global environmental governance, development governance, and organizational sustainability, the GEG Project aims to connect students, faculty, and staff across diverse disciplines and regions. We regularly convene and host distinguished scholars and policymakers from around the world, fostering in-depth discussions on environmental policy, regulation, implementation, advocacy, and justice.
"From its early beginnings to its dynamic present, the Global Environmental Governance Project has catalyzed conversations, ignited inspiration, and delivered tangible impact."
