Environment and Public Health Institute

Mission & Goals

The Environment and Public Health Institute (ephi) is a non-profit, non-partisan think tank and meeting place that addresses the environmental and health issues of our time. We do so based on the conviction that free enterprise, economic growth, new technologies and citizens' free choices are not threats to our environment and health but, on the contrary, a prerequisite for them. We believe that today's environment and health policies are too often ineffective, backward-looking and moralizing, which harms both the environment and human health. We want to contribute to a more results-oriented, cost-effective and rational environment and health policy.
