Abstract

world’s leading institutes for analysis of international issues. It is an independent organization that brings together people from government, politics, NGOs, business, the academic world and the media to be at the forefront of developments in an ever-changing and increasingly complex world. The organization has a strong track record of facilitating meetings and processes and carrying out research that enables governments and other actors to address major challenges on the international agenda. The Energy, Environment and Development Programme (EEDP) is a recognized centre of excellence with a successful track record of successful, policy-oriented research on international issues that contribute to achieving sustainable development. As the largest research programme at Chatham House, EEDP plays an important role in analysing and informing international processes related to environment and developmental issues, from the Kyoto Protocol to the World Summit on Sustainable Development. Its work is informed by the principles of independence of thought, excellence and institutional neutrality. The Programme seeks to advance the international debate on energy, environment and development policy and to influence and enable decision-makers – governments, NGOs and business – to take well-informed decisions that contribute to achieving sustainable development.
