Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the international environmental institutions (IEIs), in their varied origins, forms and mandates. The proliferation in the number of states, more than three and half times the United Nations (UN) members in 1945 has put its own pressure in terms of addressing problems of the burgeoning humanity. The IEIs which come into being as legal creatures do generally have well defined mandates. The need for an institutional form arises especially in order to supervise implementation of the relevant conventions, provide a forum for law-making and to ensure adaptability of the convention to changing needs. An examination of the role performed by varied international institutional forms in the field of environment protection and natural resources conservation can include broad categories of functional international organizations, specialized environmental institutions, regime-specific institutions as well as role of the multilateral development banks.Keywords: functional international organizations; International Environmental Institutions (IEIs); international institutional forms; legal creatures; multilateral development banks; regime-specific institutions; specialized environmental institutions; United Nations (UN) members
