The ambition to make EfD a truly global network of research centers devoted to the application of environmental economics for development is now being acted upon. The Coordination Committee of the EfD Initiative welcomed three new centers as EfD members.
The new EfD centers are the Research Nucleus on Environmental and Natural Resource Economics (NENRE) at University of Concepcion, Chile ; and the two previous EfD partners Resources for the Future (RFF) in Washington DC, USA and the Environmental Economics Unit (EEU), University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
