The Global Legislators’ Organisation (GLOBE) supports national parliamentarians to develop and agree common legislative responses to the major challenges posed by sustainable development. It supports legislators through national chapters which provide economic and policy support to develop legislation and monitor how it is implemented.
The organisation has headquarters in London and offices in Beijing, Brussels, Mexico City, Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro. GLOBE was established by a group of legislators from G8 countries in 1989 to recognise and strengthen the central role of legislators and parliaments in tackling the world’s major environmental challenges, as well as to emphasise the role of legislators in holding governments to account for the implementation of international commitments.
GLOBE’s mission is to create a critical mass of legislators that can agree and advance common legislative responses to the major global sustainable development challenges. GLOBE is partner to United Nations programmes, national and supranational governments and legislative bodies.
