What Does The Partnership Do?

The Partnership broadly conceptualizes environmental security as safeguarding against vulnerabilities induced by the abundance or scarcity of environmental assets and/or degradation. The Working Groups implement training and capacity building activities to improve the ability of partner nations to plan for and manage environmental security challenges.

IPESP Partners

The Partnership includes four working groups, which help shape the mission, maintain structure and sustainability, and provide clear lines to accomplish organizational objectives.
