Programs Offered

Center for Environmental Public Policy (CEPP)

CEPP

The Center for Environmental Public Policy (CEPP) at the Goldman School of Public Policy (GSPP) aims to bridge the gap between environmental theory and policy implementation.  It integrates interdisciplinary environmental theory and policy implementation through its seminars, workshops, and conferences. CEPP’s programs seek to educate, direct and motivate those in environmental public policy.  In particular, CEPP activities are geared to help fill the local and global need for competent environmental managers who are adept at policy-making within the context of limited and varying resources.

Recognizing that public policy is by nature interdisciplinary, CEPP aims to bring together faculty across the Berkeley campus.  It also draws on resources outside of the Berkeley campus through its Environmental Policy Practitioner in Residence and Visiting Lecturers programs.  Combined, this team represents some of the nation’s leading academic researchers, practitioners, and advocates of environmental public policy.
