Description
Indian Institute of Ecology and Environment, New Delhi is an autonomous, non profit making institution
constituted as a public charitable trust for teaching, research and consultancy in the areas of
ecology and environment. The Institute has the appropriate technology for the transfer of knowledge
in the areas of ecology and environment in general and environmental engineering, impact
assessment, pollution monitoring and control, systems analysis, wildlife conservation, environmental
communication, ecological education and environmental laws in particular. The motivation for
bringing awareness especially among the educational organisations has been based on the issues of environmental
education discussed in the deliberations at Founes in 1971 and later at Stockholm in
1972 followed by the workshop on Environmental Education at Belgrade in 1975 and then an Inter Governmental
Conference on the subject at Tbilisi in 1977 organised by United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP) and UNESCO. The former resulted in what is known as the Belgrade Charter
and from the latter issued specific recommendations on the role of Universities in the
propagation of environmental education. Since its inception on 5th June 1986 and inauguration of the
Post Graduate Diploma Programme in Ecology and Environment, the Institute has brought out
more than 3000 research reports, occasional monographs, case books besides the 30 volume International
Encyclopaedia of Ecology and Environment, 10 volume Encyclopaedia of Environmental
Sciences and 10 volume ncyclopaedia of Environmental Laws.
