This is a list of environmental organizations, organizations that preserve, analyze or monitor the environment. Environmental organizations can be global, regional, national or local; they can be governmental or private.

Intergovernmental Organizations

International organizations and bodies established through international agreements or other commitments to protect the environment:

• Commission for Environmental Cooperation (NAFTA)
• European Environment Agency (EEA)
• Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
• UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme)

There are also environmental Intergovernmental Organizations that group governments at the regional and local level, as distinguishable from the national level. Examples are the network of regional governments for sustainable development [1] and the ICLEI-Local governments for sustainability [2]. These organizations use the method of open coordination to share policy best practice and provide assistance and counsel to partners on issues related to environmental development following the UN Millennium Agenda. These networks can be seen as international organisations and have observer status in the different UN environmental organizations.
