As a member of the UNFCCC Climate Technology Network (CTN) that is led by UNEP, Burleson Institute focuses on environmentally sound technology as a bridge to climate cooperation and sustainability. Through technical assistance, intentional learning networks, and educational outreach, we are building a culture of best practice sharing and innovation where stakeholders are equal partners, working together toward substantive and procedural good governance. Through interactive learning, facilitation, mentoring, and fieldwork, we provide innovative analysis to government officials, nongovernmental organizations, tribal communities, business leaders, and individual members of civil society globally to enhance engagement among energy, climate, water, public health, human rights and related communities." |
