The Environmental Integrity Group (EIG) is a negotiation group consisting of six parties to the UNFCCC. When it was formed in 2000, it only consisted of Switzerland, Korea, and Mexico.Yamin & Depledge: The International Climate Change Regime, 2004, Cambridge, p.47, , Link.
History The Environmental Integrity Group was initiated by Switzerland during the negotiations of the Kyoto Protocol, where only party groups were allowed to negotiate. Switzerland was not part of any group and they did not want to join the Umbrella Group. So Switzerland declared to form the EIG and invited other independent parties to join.
