Jamaica's National Environmental Education Committee (NEEC) aims to encourage, guide, and coordinate environmental education activities in support of sustainable development in the country. This multi-stakeholder national partnership of organizations-drawn from government, non-government, education, community, and private sector agencies-has been in existence since 1993, when it was formed by the National Resources Conservation Authority (NRCA) to help that authority fulfil its legal mandate for increasing the environmental literacy of Jamaicans.
