Center Brings Support to the Frontline Troops

摘要

Environmental programs deployed below the national level, a concept known as environmental federalism, have been a key focus of ELI's work since the Institute was founded. What today is called the Center for State, Tribal, and Local Environmental Programs, however, was not formally established until 1986, with a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Over the years, the State Center has served as an umbrella for the myriad ELI programs and projects that involve subnational governments, both in the United States and overseas.
