Geneva's International Environment House

http://www.environmenthouse.ch/

consists of two buildings in which most of Geneva's environmental and sustainable development organizations are concentrated.

Building I   Intergovernmental Organizations
Building II  Nongovernmental Organizations

The International Environment House gathers under a common roof a range of United Nations and non-governmental organisations active in the field of environment and sustainable development in Geneva. The centre hopes to foster synergies and encourage partnerships between the different organisations, secretariats and numerous other environmental institutions. It will also contribute to raising awareness of the considerable potential for international environmental collaboration in Geneva.

The Geneva Environment Network (GEN) is a cooperative partnership between over 40 environment and sustainable development organizations and units based in the International Environment House and elsewhere in the Geneva area, including United Nations offices and programmes, specialized agencies and NGOs. The partnership aims at improving information dissemination and public outreach, and at developing other joint activities.

The http://www.environmenthouse.ch/ site contains information

 on the GEN partners, facilities such as the library and databases, as well as on upcoming environmental events such as roundtables, conferences etc. (a French version is also available).
