The Ring Who are we?

The Ring is an alliance of 13 established and renowned policy research organisations promoting sustainable development through collaborative research, dissemination and policy advocacy. Founded in 1991, in the build-up to the Rio Summit on Environment and Development. The Ring has developed as an informal space in which a community of like-minded organisations can work together to achieve shared objectives. Members of the Ring are based in 5 continents, the majority in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The network’s goal is to improve environment and development policy processes, and to increase the regional and local impact of organisations working on sustainable development issues. The Ring aims to further increase its impact on international decision-making fora, particularly in three broad areas: Climate Change, Trade, and the Future of Sustainability as an influential concept.
