GLOBE - The Global Legislators Organisation - is an international network comprising national parliamentarians from over 50 countries committed to developing and overseeing the implementation of laws in pursuit of sustainable development. GLOBE is a non-party political organisation that supports legislators through national chapters to develop and advance laws on climate change, natural capital accounting and forests. GLOBE was established by a group of legislators from G8 countries in 1989 to recognize and strengthen the central role of legislators and parliaments in tackling the world's major environmental challenges, as well as to emphasize 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.
