The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) serves as a public-interest international law-firm on issues of environment and sustainable development to government, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations located in Geneva and around the world.

With offices in Washington D.C. and Geneva, CIEL provides legal advice on international and comparative environmental law, policy and management. In Geneva, CIEL focuses primarily on the links among trade, environment and development, and provides support to national missions, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, with a special focus on matters relating to the World Trade Organization.

CIEL also continues its tradition of educating public-spirited lawyers and building institutional capacity to address global environmental problems thorough its teaching and training program, including its joint Summer Law Institute with the American University's Washington College of Law.

To support these activities, CIEL conducts independent policy research on pressing issues of international law for sustainable development, writing and publishing extensively on topics concerning environmental protection, economic globalization, and global governance. The Managing Attorney of CIEL's Geneva Office is Matthew Stilwell.
