Task Force Players

The Electronic Tools Task Force is chaired by the Bulgarian Ministry of Environment and Water with the support of the Austrian Federal Environment Agency. The UK Environmental Agency serves as a vice-chair. The chairs provide strategic direction and support.

Technical support to the task force (website, needs audit, case study collection) is provided by the Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe (REC) and UNEP-Grid Arendal within the framework of the clearing-house mechanism.

Other organisations contributing to the work of the task force include Eco-Forum - The NGO Coalition (strategic support) and UNEP-Infoterra (experience sharing).

Task Force Participants

Task Force participants tend to vary because of the gaps between meetings.  Therefore it is best to check the meeting participant lists, under the Events page.
