A Stakeholder group for NCOF has been formed with the purpose of advising:

(i) NCOF on the requirements and priorities for improved environmental information and to assist coordination of requirements
(ii) on co-ordination of NCOF with external organisations (e.g. contacts within your organisations and with other organisations who might help NCOF to meet its mission)
(iii) on opportunities for funding.

It reports to the NCOF Governing Board and will initially be chaired by Peter Ryder. It meets in London initially on a six-monthly basis with a view to annual meetings in the longer term.
