What does IISD try to achieve?
The International Institute for Sustainable Development is in the business of promoting change towards sustainable development. Through our research and through effective communication of our findings, we engage decision-makers in government, business, NGOs and other sectors to develop and implement policies that are simultaneously beneficial to the global economy, the global environment and to social well-being. In the pursuit of sustainable development, we promote open and effective international negotiation processes. And we believe fervently in the importance of building our own institutional capacity while helping our partner organizations in the developing world to excel.
