The Centre is affiliated to the Nehru Foundation for Development by which it inherits the rich multidisciplinary resource base and wide-ranging experience in the field of science, nature studies, health, development and the environment

At its inception, CEE was one of the few actively engaged in environmental education in India. Programmes were carried out across the country while its base was located in Ahmedabad. Within five years, realization came that for a country as vast and diverse as India physical presence was important for effective implementation. Based on this, the first regional office was opened for the Southern region in 1988-89. Since then it has been a conscious effort to have an office or presence in the geographical area of work. Today there are about 40 regional, state and project offices across the country, as well as country offices in Australia and Germany.

After completing a decade of activities in 1994, it was decided to move more from environmental education to environmental action. This was an outcome of the learnings and experiences in the first ten years. CEE began more pilot, field-level and demonstration projects towards sustainable development which could be scaled-up and replicated. Within the next ten years, these projects formed a major chunk of Centre's activities.

Today, CEE works for a wide range of sectors, target groups and geographical areas. CEE sees a major opportunity in the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD 2005-14) to further contribute towards sustainable development.

ESD is not a new programme but a call for a process to re-orient educational policies, programmes and practices so that education plays its part in building the capacities of all members of society to work together for a sustainable future. DESD activities hence have been focused on advocacy, communication and networking – directed at facilitating all educators to include sustainable development concerns and goals in their own programmes.
