The Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) is the national non-profit, non-partisan association of state and territorial environmental agency leaders.
The purpose of ECOS is to improve the capability of state environmental agencies and their leaders to protect and improve human health and the environment of the United States of America.
Our belief is that state government agencies are the keys to delivering environmental protection afforded by both federal and state law. Further, we believe that ECOS plays a critical role in facilitating a quality relationship between federal and state agencies in the fulfillment of that mission. That role is defined as:
Articulate, advocate, preserve and champion the role of the states in environmental management; and
Provide for the exchange of ideas, views and experiences among states and with others; and
Foster cooperation and coordination in environmental management; and
Articulate state positions to Congress, federal agencies, and the public on environmental issues.
Note to All Users: Throughout the ECOS web site you will find lists of documents, news stories, and so on. These lists are usually columns with headings like "Title," "Date," and so on. You can re-arrange any of these listings by clicking on Title, Date, etc. Click again to reverse the order. We hope this helps you find information faster! - Executive Director
