Overview

Key features/aspects of the Guidebook include:

Based on extensive independent research designed to “get below the surface,” providing essential, relevant information without extraneous “fluff.”
Selective in terms of listings, focusing on identified “key players” (i.e., a “Who’s-Who) as well as key information sources.
Focuses on the activities, contributions and viewpoints of listed organization/entities, as well what each has to offer (e.g., tools/resources, publications, etc.) to interested parties.
Profiles much more than just environmentally-focused public interest groups, including governmental organizations (agencies, etc.), multilaterals (the UN, WTO, IMF, World Bank, etc.), political organizations/parties, business groups and labor unions, professional societies, job/career organizations, media-related entities (offering news, magazines, books, etc.), data/info-rich websites/ gateways, and “opposing views” groups (groups labeled as “anti-environmental” by critics/observers).
Adopts a relatively wide definition of “environmental” issues/activities, considering key associated issue areas such as agriculture, energy, public health, trade/commerce, and transportation/infrastructure, as well as more underlying factors such as consumerism, land use/planning, and population growth.
Identifies specific key reports and other publications judged to represent “essential reading” for interested parties.
Provides key contact information to obtain further information including through the Internet.
Includes summary indices that: a) list all profiled orgs/entities alphabetically by type (government, NGOs, etc.) and b) list all identified “key reports/publications” alphabetically by issue category (conservation, pollution, energy, etc.).
