Global
Environments Activities
 Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change
Established in 1988 by the WMO and UN, the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change provides scientific, technical
and socio-economic advice on climate change science,
impacts, adaptation, and mitigation to the international
community to the Conference of the Parties to the UN
Framework Convention on Climate Change. CEEP has provided
contributing authors to the Second and Third IPCC scientific
assessment reports. |
UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change
CEEP is an accredited observer organization with the
UN FCCC Secretariat and participates in the annual Conferences
of the Parties as an observer and as a participant in
NGO side-events. For a number of the Conferences, the
Center has prepared position Publications dealing with key
issues and debates, especially those addressing the
prospects for climate equity. Our participation in the
Conferences has involved offering advice, views, and
briefings to national delegates, organizing and participating
in meetings and seminars in conjunction with NGOs, and
participating in networks of climate change researchers
and policy advocates focused on issues of equity and
sustainability. |
Critical Evaluation
of Globalization
CEEP’s interest in the environmental and social
implications of globalization has resulted in several
published monographs on this subject. Of particular
theoretical and policy interest is the effect of globalization
on ecological justice, particularly on indigenous peoples
and their livelihoods, and the ways in which international
economic and cultural influences are exerted at the
national and local scale over resource issues. The connection
between sustainable development and globalization is
an emerging field, and one of interest to the Center.
CEEP was an accredited observer organization with the
World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) held
in 2002 in Johannesburg, South Africa, where it presented
its views on conflicts between the principle of ecological
justice and the policy ideals of globalization and sustainable
development. |
