Why NCEL's Work Matters
Why NCEL's Work Matters
We believe that the key to advancing sound policy in the states is well-informed legislatures with strong champions. However, state legislators are often understaffed and lack funding and resources. We meet this need by providing legislators with the resources and tools to pursue environmental policies through legislative research, organized events, and by facilitating collaboration between lawmakers working on similar issues.
