The International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) is an independent research and action organisation that delivers positive change on a global scale. Our mission is to build a fairer, more sustainable world, using evidence, action and influence in partnership with others. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We harness the power of our networks, from grassroots communities to multilateral institutions, to mobilise action at local, national and global levels.

They will lead IIED to become truly global, working with local partners and international institutions to make change happen.
