Environmental Policy Program

State and local leaders charged with protecting Georgia’s rich natural resources use the Vinson Institute’s Environmental Policy Program (EPP) as a resource for assistance and objective information. In addition to offering the skills and knowledge of the EPP faculty, the Vinson Institute can draw on the vast resources of the University of Georgia to meet your particular needs.
