Sustainable development, environmental change and poverty reduction are three key issues confronting governments and businesses throughout the world.

The Environment and Development Group (EDG) works to create the conditions for economically and environmentally sustainable human development.

We do this by working with governments, corporations and others to conserve and manage our planet's natural wealth and meet their environmental and social responsibilities.

Our quality of life now and in the future depends on the health of our rivers, lands and oceans.

EDG's guiding philosophy places protection and careful management of the environment at the heart of the development process.
