National Council for Science and the Environment

The National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) is a non-profit organization that has been working since 1990 to improve the scientific basis of environmental decision-making. NCSE specializes in bringing together diverse individuals, institutions, and communities to collaborate on environmental issues. While advocating for the use of science, NCSE does not take positions on environmental outcomes, making it different from traditional environmental groups. The organization is committed to using science to achieve solutions to the environmental challenges facing humanity and provides services to advance environmental programs for its members. Additionally, NCSE runs programs that prepare high school students for careers in the environmental field and advance young people in environmental careers through paid fellowships and internships.
