Promoting global sustainable development that is environmentally sound, socially just and respectful of cultural diversity
Mission
The aim of EDRC is to contribute to the achievement of global sustainable development that is environmentally sound, socially just and respectful of cultural diversity.
EDRC also serves as a catalyst for new initiatives to redress shortcomings in the international environment-development policy-making process. The Centre acts as an independent 'honest-broker', carrying out and commissioning innovative studies, promoting co-operation between the environment and development movements, between researchers and activists, and between NGOs and decision makers.
