IGES Bangkok Office

Established in 1998, the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) is an independent, non-profit environmental policy think-tank, based in Japan that goes beyond research to provide practical ways to protect the earth's environment and to realise greater sustainability and equity in the global community. While the outlook of IGES is global, the principal geographical scope of its activities is the Asia-Pacific region. IGES activities consist of four main components: Strategic Research, Information Outreach, Multi-stakeholder Dialogue, and Capacity Building. In July 2003, IGES established the IGES Project Office in Bangkok in cooperation with the Regional Resources Centre for Asia and the Pacific (RRC.AP) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The main role of the Bangkok Office is to engage in RRC.AP related projects as well as liaising with the governments of Thailand and neighbouring countries, research institutes and international organisations in the region.'Established in 1998, the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) is an independent, non-profit environmental policy think-tank, based in Japan that goes beyond research to provide practical ways to protect the earth's environment and to realise greater sustainability and equity in the global community.
