This committee was created in 1969 with the initial aim of addressing problems affecting the environment and quality of life of citizens living in member countries. It is a forum where member and Partner countries can share knowledge and experience on technical, scientific and policy aspects of social and environmental matters in both the civilian and military sectors. Its main objective is to tackle environmental security and societal problems already under study at the national level and, by combining the expertise and technology available in NATO and Partner countries, arrive fairly rapidly at valid conclusions and make recommendations for action.
