The National Environmental Education Committee (NEEC) acknowledges the invaluable inputs of those who have contributed to the development and production of the National Environmental Education Action Plan for Sustainable Development. The members of the NEEC Executive have provided direction for this process, which begun in 1993 and was revitalized in 1996 within the ambit of the Environmental Action (ENACT) programme between the Government of Jamaica and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).

The National Environmental Education Action Plan for Sustainable Development is an NEEC document, written by Communications Consultant Suzanne Francis Brown, and supervised by Charlene Easton, ENACT’s Communication, Education & Awareness Advisor. Chapters Four and Five of the Plan draw extensively on baseline research into areas of Formal Education and Non-Formal Learning identified during workshops and subsequent NEEC deliberations, as important to Environmental Education for Sustainable Development. Research was undertaken by Marcelline Collins-Figueroa & Joyce Glasgow (Teacher Professional Development), Pam Morris (Curriculum Development & Implementation), Susan Otuokon (National Awareness & Attitudes), Valerie Gordon (Community Learning), and Christine Scott Dunkley & Janet Bedasse (Resources & Practices). Five Working Groups totaling 53 individuals contributed to research and actions set forth in the plan. Thanks are also due to Novlette Douglas, Environmental Education Officer, and other involved staff of the Natural Resource Conservation Authority (NRCA), to which the NEEC is affiliated; and to the NEEC Secretariat within the NRCA.
