National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE)

Finnish Science and the Environment (NCSE) is a non-profit organization, which must be made to improve the scientific basis for environmental decision-making. Although a supporter of science and its use, NCSE has not taken a position on environmental policy.

NCSE specializes in programs that bring together various individuals, institutions and communities work together, especially in many communities to create and use knowledge of the environment, including research, education, environment, and business organizations and government at all levels.

NCSE operates programs in five areas:

1. Scientific solutions - programs that engage diverse communities to deploy science to make decisions on specific issues. This includes the National Commission on Science for Sustainable Forestry and Wildlife Habitat Policy Research Program.

2. Strengthening education - which includes an affiliate program of the University (~ 160 member schools) with a Council of Deans and Directors of the environment and , a mentoring program for high school students

3. National conference on science, politics and the environment
