Eduardo Silva, Friezo Family Foundation Chair in Political Science, CIPR Senior Associate Research Fellow and a member of the External Advisory Board of the Environmental Governance in Latin America Project, funded by the European Union Commission, participated in the fifth ENGOV meeting that took place at the Universidad Andina Simon Bolívar in Quito, Ecuador, from 25 to 28 May 2013.

The primary aim of ENGOV is to generate new knowledge on how environmental governance is shaped in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The project focuses on new developments and policies that enable or prevent the dual goal of ending poverty and protecting natural resources. Another important aim of ENGOV is to develop a more integrative analytical framework on environmental governance and natural resource use in LAC.
