Policy Advisory Groups

Three expert Policy Advisory Groups help the BES to provide accurate and timely advice to parliamentarians and civil-servants:

  • Climate Change Advisory Group
  • Marine Advisory Group
  • Ecosystem Services Advisory Group

The BES Policy Team calls upon the groups for advice and input when necessary, for example in producing briefings, responding to consultations or meeting with policy-makers and advisors.
