The goals of the Center for Environmental Policy (CEP) at the Academy of Natural Sciences are to evaluate key issues of environmental policy, facilitate dialogues and decision-making on environmental topics, and inform the public from both an academic as well as a practical perspective.  CEP answers the need for a non-partisan, science-based organization  that is capable of accessing and guiding a myriad of public and private stakeholders.  For more information about current CEP projects and initiatives, please visit: http://www.ansp.org/environmental
