Listservs, Blogs and Other Resources

IISD has both created and participated in numerous “knowledge networks,” both in the virtual world and in the real one. Connections between people all over the world allow IISD to conduct the research it needs to foster sustainable thought and action. But one of the most important connections IISD can foster is communication with the most influential of all, the global media.

Mailing Lists

IISD hosts more than 20 electronic mailing lists on topics as diverse as Arctic youth, the climate, forests and international trade. Join our growing list of 120,000 subscribers, or read back issues (subscribe to our mailing lists).

IISD Media Mail delivers notices about IISD events, issues, commentaries or latest research.
