UKEOF is the coordinating body across the public sector for the UK's environmental observation community. As such it plays a vital role in improving the coordination of the UK's observational evidence needed to understand and manage the changing natural environment.
As a partnership of public sector organisations (including government, research councils, devolved administrations and environment agencies) with an interest in using and providing evidence from environmental observations, UKEOF is unique in bringing together the main organisations involved in the field. Together they generate and manage in situ and remote environmental observations across the UK. This collaborative approach helps inform strategic direction in environmental observations and supports the efficient delivery of operational services. UKEOF informs policy, management, science and innovation for environmental and economic benefit.
UKEOF provides a neutral space for organisations to discuss efficiencies and collaborative working and it benefits its members by providing a central source of advice and information, enabling knowledge exchange, collaboration and networking, and by helping to reduce duplication of effort.
