Each year the NCSE conference brings together over 700 educators, researchers, students, policy-makers, government officials, business leaders and representatives from civil society. The event is a unique opportunity to gain insight into the latest trends and practices in environmental science and decision-making as well as to network with peers, make new connections, and meet today’s and tomorrow’s environmental leaders. A large part of the NCSE annual conference is the opportunities for learning. NCSE organized plenaries and keynotes cover today’s pressing issues. More than 35 concurrent sessions will be presented covering a variety of topics.
