General Info

The Center for Environment and Population ( CEP ) was founded in 1999 to ensure that the best available science-based knowledge on human population's environmental and climate change impacts is actively integrated into policies and public outreach at the community to international levels. The environmental impacts of human population are occurring at rates, scales, and types never before experienced. The analyses of these issuesparticularly the most current scientific thinking and emerging trends in the fieldare rarely fully reflected in public policies, outreach, and advocacy efforts. Scientists and other experts seldom have the opportunity to communicate their research or knowledge broadly, so decision makers and the general public do not often benefit from their findings. The Center fills this gap by partnering with leading organizations ( such as the National Wildlife Federation, Communications Consortium Media Center, Population Reference Bureau, Yale University, local community organizations, and others ( see Partners ) to form a critical triangle from science, to policy, to outreach, on the population and environmental relationship. CEP generally organizes the partnerships, and additionally, brings the best and latest science to the table. Its organizational partnerswith expertise in policy implications and in reaching opinion leaders and the public through advocacy and mediacontribute those aspects. So as to avoid duplication, the partners try to build on already existing policy and outreach efforts.
