About [Edit]
The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) is a nonprofit organization working to use international law and institutions to protect the environment, promote human health, and ensure a just and sustainable society. We provide a wide range of services including legal counsel, policy research, analysis, advocacy, education, training, and capacity building.
CIEL's goals:
to solve environmental problems and promote sustainable societies through the use of law,
to incorporate fundamental principles of ecology and justice into international law,
to strengthen national environmental law systems and support public interest movements around the world, and
to educate and train public-interest-minded environmental lawyers.
CIEL’s program areas include Chemicals, Climate Change, Biodiversity and Wildlife, Biotechnology, Trade and Sustainable Development, International Financial Institutions, Law and Communities, and Human Rights and the Environment. CIEL’s work covers more than sixty countries on six continents, with emphasis on the Western Hemisphere, Central and Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States, Asia and Africa.
CIEL also directs a joint research and teaching program with The American University Washington College of Law. This joint program includes nine courses on international and comparative environmental law, as well as on-the-job experience through an extensive internship program to help launch the careers of law students and lawyers dedicated to environmental protection. The program’s participants are drawn from the Washington College of Law’s Master of Laws program which each year enrolls 180 foreign lawyers from 60 countries from around the world. Many of the individuals with whom CIEL works are foreign lawyers who have studied in the CIEL/WCL joint program.
