The National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment is built on the idea that stakeholder-informed science is a powerful tool for building consensus necessary to solve the serious environmental problems we face. Each year, NCSE convenes a topical conference that brings together hundreds of scientific, educational, business, civil society, and government leaders. The Council produces and disseminates a detailed report of the recommendations developed by conference participants. NCSE provides briefings to Congress and other institutions and individuals capable of implementing the proposals. The Council also develops or facilitates the development of new programs based on recommendations from the conference.
