National Council For Science

More Info

General Info

The National Council for Science and the Environment ( NCSE ) has been working since 1990 to improve the scientific basis of environmental decisionmaking. We envision a society where environmental decisions by everyone are based on an accurate understanding of the underlying science, its meaning and limitations, and the potential consequences of their action or inaction. NCSE specializes in programs that bring together diverse individuals, institutions and communities to collaborate. We work closely with the many communities creating and using environmental knowledge to make and shape environmental decisions, including research, education, environmental, and business organizations as well as governmental bodies at all levels. While an advocate for science and its use, NCSE does not take positions on environmental outcomes. In this sense it is different from traditional environmental groups. As an organization that is strongly focused rooted in the real-world decisionmaking, it is different from traditional scientific organizations. NCSE is motivated above all by a commitment to use science to achieve solutions to the environmental challenges facing humanity. The University Affiliate Program provides services to advance environmental programs to over 140 members ranging from large private or public research institutions to smaller liberal arts institutions. The Council of Environmental Deans and Directors brings academic leaders together to improve their environmental programs and increase their value to students and to society. The Environmentors program prepares high school students from under-served communities for college degrees and careers in the environmental field. The Campus to Careers program advances young people in environmental careers through paid fellowships, internships, and other short-term-opportunities at federal agencies.
