Everything we do or stop doing in this decade that begins, to face the crisis of biodiversity and climate change, will have a significant impact on the future of our civilization, its well-being and the integrity of our planet. To address it, today more than ever, ecosystem-based approaches become increasingly relevant.

Steering Committee

The SC provides leadership and guides the development and implementation of the CEM’s work. It also works to facilitate the establishment of CEM's Thematic and Specialist Groups, Task Forces, identify and initiate fundraising opportunities, strengthen partnerships and promote membership. All members of the SC have also been assigned multiple Thematic and Specialist Groups that they are responsible for. CEM holds two SC meetings every year, and where possible does so in conjunction with a related workshop.
