After 30 years as a leader in advancing the use of science in environmental decision-making, the Global Council for Science and the Environment (GCSE) has made a pivotal shift. The collective wisdom and experience of our network and Board of Directors has pointed us toward a new imperative – working across boundaries to co-produce knowledge in partnership with users of information and people most affected by environmental problems.
