The team of environmental negotiations specialists document efforts by the United Nations, national governments, civil society organizations, and other actors to respond to pressing global challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, land management, over pollution, widening inequality, chemicals and wastes management, trade in endangered species, deep sea mining, and ocean management.
ENB publishes daily reports and summaries in print and online, distributing news through web, email, and social media feeds.
Namely, Johannah Bernstein, an environmental lawyer and Director of the Canadian Participatory Committee for UNCED, Pamela Chasek, a doctoral student at Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, and Langston James Goree VI "Kimo", a former UNDP programme officer and NGO activist from the Western Amazon.
Many writers join the team while in graduate school and eventually move on to careers in international organizations.
Conversely, retired career diplomats from the United States, Russia, and China have also brought their experience to the team.
