The role of the National Committee UK Working Group for Education and Communication is in support of the work of the IUCN Commission on Education and Communication (CEC) and its initiatives.
The IUCN Commission on Education and Communication (CEC) recognises that knowledge is only useful in influencing conservation policies and actions if people are engaged in constructive dialogue and motivated to action by its findings. In this line, the CEC drives change for the co-creation of sustainable solutions through leading communication, learning and knowledge management in IUCN and the wider conservation community.
There is no charge to become a member of the CEC if you qualify.
