Environmental Disasters
Each year, the NCSE convenes a national conference that brings together over 1,000 scientific, educational, business, civil society, and government professionals from diverse fields to explore the connections between science and decision-making associated with a particular high-profile environmental issue.
As part of the conference, NCSE also holds the annual John H. Chafee Memorial Lecture on Science and the Environment. The lecture provides a high profile forum for communicating the importance and potential for science in environmental decision-making by featuring a renowned expert in the field. At the conference, participants develop recommendations and strategies to achieve science-based solutions to complex environmental problems. Following the conference, NCSE:
- Produces and disseminates conference recommendations developed by participants;
- Provides briefings to Congress, other institutions, and decision-makers capable of implementing the conference recommendations;
- Strives to develop or facilitate the development of new programs based on recommendations from the conference; and
- Publishes the John H. Chafee Memorial Lecture.
