Online Access to Research in the Environment (OARE) – Strengthening Scientific Competence in Developing Countries through Access to Environmental Research

Set up by the United Nations Environment Programme in 2006 together with Yale University and major scientific publishers, the OARE programme enables academic, research and government institutions in developing countries to gain free or low cost access to an impressive body of research in the environment and related fields. OARE helps bridge the knowledge gap between developing countries and the industrialized world and build the capacity of researchers and experts to facilitate the development of science-driven policies for sound management of the environment.
