What can the Collaboration for Environmental Evidence do for you?
CEE provides a number of free resources to authors of evidence syntheses. Many of these resources are explained in the video below by Ruth Garside during her presentation at ESMARConf2022. Watch this video to learn why evidence synthesis matters, what CEE is and how it can help you, and how you can get involved.
