1/2 🎉 Exciting news for #EvidenceSynthesis! 19 BMC journals have incorporated the CEE Checklist for Assessing Validity of Systematic Reviews in the Environmental Sector into their submission guidelines through our collaboration with @springernature.com #CEEAtWork 👇

5/We’d love to connect if you’re working in environmental evidence synthesis or want to strengthen environmental decision-making.

The call for stronger evidence is clear, and the collaboration to deliver it is growing.
#EvidenceSynthesis #ESIC #EnvironmentalEvidence #ResearchImpact

4/With funders backing this effort, ESIC is advancing:
🌍 Living evidence syntheses
🤖 AI-supported tools that improve efficiency while maintaining rigour
🌱 An environmental management hub connecting evidence with practice

Home Welcome to our website

3/Now conservation and environmental communities can accelerate this work through the Evidence Synthesis Infrastructure Collaborative (evidencesic.org).
CEE is excited to work with #ESIC to ensure biodiversity and environmental priorities are represented in this global infrastructure.

2/The editorial highlights the importance of #EvidenceSynthesis and recognises CEE as part of the growing movement to strengthen environmental decision-making.
For nearly 20 years, we’ve been building capacity for rigorous, transparent evidence synthesis.
#EnvironmentalEvidence

Biodiversity conservation has an evidence problem — it’s time to fix it Globally, more than one million species are threatened with extinction, but often interventions intended to protect biodiversity are not rooted in robust research. The field has an opportunity to…

A recent editorial in @nature.com made a compelling call:

“When it comes to conserving biodiversity, strong evidence for what works and what doesn’t is sorely needed”

We couldn’t agree more.🧵👇
