The Asia-Pacific Centre for Environmental Law (APCEL) was established on 15 February 1996 by the Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore, on the initiative of the Faculty of Law and the Commission of Environmental Law (CEL) of the World Conservation Union (ICUN), and in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme. It was instituted in response to the need for capacity building in environmental legal education and the need for promotion of awareness in environmental issues. It is currently working closely with ICUN’s projects and programmes.
