The European Academy for Environmental Affairs (also known as: European Academy of Environmental Affairs, is a private organization which gave its label for the Leipzig Declaration on Global Climate Change, a SEPP-initiated document in which some scientists argue against global warming theories.
In 1993 this Academy held a conference in Mannheim under the title "Globale Erwärmung - Tatsache oder Behauptung?" (Global warming—fact or fiction?).
On there is a list of textbooks on ecology issued by the Academy. Founder and president of the Academy was the late Prof. Dr. Dr. hc. Helmut Metzner (1925-1999), who was professor for chemical plant physiology., .
An article by Metzner about his view on climate change can be found on the right-wing website konservativ.de . He was accused of having strong connections to the Studienzentrum Weikersheim, a right-wing think-tank in Baden-Württemberg.
The Academy is recognized in a consultative function by the Council of Europe
There are no webpages of the Academy, and there are some hints that is now defunct. It may have ceased operation with the death of Metzner.

“When the State wishes to endow an academy or university, it grants it a tract of forest land: one saw represents an academy, a gang, a university.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is a very holy and a very terrible isolation for the conscience of every man who seeks to read the destiny in affairs for others as well as for himself, for a nation as well as for individuals. That privacy no man can intrude upon. That lonely search of the spirit for the right perhaps no man can assist.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
