Foundation for International Environmental Law and Development

"FIELD is a group of public international lawyers committed to helping vulnerable countries, communities and campaigners negotiate for fairer international environmental laws.

"FIELD will celebrate its 20th birthday in 2009. Our work is part campaigning, part research, and part the work of a conventional law firm. We work with local partners, national and international NGOs and institutions. We have a worldwide reputation for expertise in the development and application of international environmental law and for siding with the disadvantaged. For example, we have advised the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) in international climate change negotiations for many years.

"In 2005, FIELD became an independent subsidiary of the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED)."
