Major group affiliation:	Non-governmental Orgnizations
Affiliation with other organizations:	AUB- IFI created a consortium of Arab Public Research Institute (CAPRI)>. The CAPRI project was launched in fall 2010 as part of the RAPP program particularly aimed at studying the research and policy links related to Policy Research Institutes (PRIs). The term PRI is used in the place of "think tank" because the latter term is a Western concept that does not fully incorporate the range of institutions with policy impact in the Arab world. In order to better understand PRIs' research and policy links, it is essential to examine PRIs' role and impact. This requires the conceptual disaggregation of PRIs as institutes on the one hand, and PRIs within the policy-making process on the other.
Affiliation with UN bodies:	Accredited as observers to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change- Conference of Parties
Publications:	- A Case Study on Lebanon’s National Strategy for Forest Fire Management. - The Economics of Tobacco in Lebanon: An Estimation of the Social Costs of Tobacco Consumption - "Climate Change, Water and the PolicyMaking Process in the Levant and North Africa" -Syria: Climate Change, Water and the Policy-Making Process in the Levant and North Africa - Climate Change in the Levant and North Africa Region: An assessment of implications for water resources, regional state of awareness and preparedness, and the road ahead. -National Economic, Environment and Development Studies (NEEDS) Project
