Welcome

The Collaboration for Environmental Evidence is a partnership between scientists and managers working towards a sustainable global environment and the conservation of biodiversity. The collaboration seeks to synthesise evidence on issues of greatest concern to environmental policy and practice.

CEE has formal charitable status and its Objects are:

The protection of the environment and conservation of biodiversity through preparation, maintenance promotion and dissemination of systematic reviews of the effects and impacts of environment management interventions, for the public benefit.

Syntheses take the form of systematic reviews providing rigorous and transparent methodology to assess the impacts of human activity and effectiveness of policy and management interventions. This website contains a small but fast growing Library of Environmental Evidence in the form of systematic reviews.

The Collaboration is not for profit and relies on the dedication and enthusiasm of scientists and managers to provide a reliable source of evidence to continuously improve the effectiveness of our actions. 

Please browse our website to find out more and do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or suggestions you might have.

Stop press... Documents submitted to the Environmental Evidence Library must first undergo a period of consultation and peer review. All draft review documents are made available for public consultation via our 'draft reviews' section. Those interested in providing feedback on review and protocol drafts should visit these pages to see which documents are currently available for consultation.

To find out more about the systematic review process and how to author a review, please see our "Information for..." section.
