Overview

The idea of this international institute was conceived in Beijing in March 2004 and nurtured in Rome, Joensuu and Dehradun, by intellect scholars from the Roman Forum, the Indian Forest Service, Chinese Academy of Forestry and the University of Joensuu in Finland. The Institute finally took physical shape in the "Amity University Campus" at Noida in India after searching for an appropriate place and looking out for funding from various organisations across the world. The Institute strives to enhance the understanding of global warming, its causes, possible mitigation options and the technical and communal orientation that would be required to deal with the consequences of warming that is unavoidable. The main activities of IGWES will be focused to research, teaching, training, consultancy, valuation and arbitration services related to climate change. Climate change negotiations beyond Kyoto protocol, effect on bio diversity, on mountains, on the coastal zones, the vulnerability of food crops and the mitigation opportunities that the biofuels offer are some of the broad verticals on which the theme of the institute will be focused to.
