About [Edit]
Established in May 1993, the Thailand Environment Institute (TEI) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization focusing on environmental issues and the conservation of natural resources in Thailand, Regional and Global levels.
Founded on the belief that partnerships are the most effective approach to achieving a more sustainable way of life, the Thailand Environment Institute advocates a participatory approach to shared environmental responsibility.
By working closely with the private sector, government, local communities, other civil society partners, academia and in international circles with international organizations, TEI helps to formulate environmental directives and link policy with action to encourage meaningful environmental progress in Thailand.
In this way, and by serving as a reliable and up-to-date information and knowledge resource, TEI works to advance sustainable development in the country, in the Asia-Pacific region, and beyond.
