The Environmental Research Institute of the States, the science and education subsidiary of the Environmental Council of the States, recently launched its first website-- eristates.org.
The site is home to research and tools from state and federal agencies, ERIS projects including the new PFAS Risk Communication Hub, and a calendar of events for easy access to trainings and webinars.
The purposes of ERIS are--
-- To improve the environment of the United States; and
-- To further the understanding of the roles and activities of the states in the federal system with respect to environmental protection; and
-- To conduct environmental policy research including the dissemination of results through publications, meetings, electronic media, and similar venues; and
-- To act as a forum where state environmental policy makers interact with other environmental stakeholders regarding environmental policy in the United States; and
-- To provide education programs to assist in the development of environmental policy in the United States; and
-- To operate the Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council, which shall create a national coalition focused on developing tools and strategies to reduce interstate barriers to the deployment of innovative environmental technologies
For more information, visit the Environmental Research Institute of the States website. Questions should be directed to Sarah Grace Longsworth by sending email to: slongsworth@ecos.org
