Ecologic receives Special Consultative Status from ECOSOC
Given Ecologic’s expertise in the area of international and European environmental policy, the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) decided in July 2005 to grant Special Consultative Status to Ecologic. ECOSOC is the principal organ to coordinate the economic, social, and related work of the UN specialised agencies and functional and regional commissions.
Dr. Sebastian Oberthür, Senior Associate with Ecologic, was elected as a member of the Scientific Steering Committee of the Institutional Dimensions of Global Environmental Change (IDGEC) at the beginning of 2005.
