Centre for Environment Education
Centre for Environment Education is an Institution engaged in developing programmes and materials to increase awareness about the environment. CEE, India was established in 1984 as a Centre of Excellence in Environmental Education, supported by the Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India. It is affiliated to the Nehru Foundation for Development. CEE's primary objective is to improve public awareness and understanding of environmental issues with a view to promote the conservation and wise use of nature and natural resources.
CEE’s programmes and projects over two decades have explored the emerging models of development to identify and promote those which are contextually sustainable. The methods employed include working with communities, sharing knowledge with policymakers, and capacity building at sub-national, national and trans-national levels. These have yielded opportunities to meaningfully bring learnings and insights from the grassroots to bear on policies and actions.
CEE’s programmes/projects are organised around twenty – one thrust areas. As an organising principle, this helps us indicate our focus and plan our activities. These thrust areas are a dynamic listing.
