The Environmental Education Forum (EEF) is a networking organisation that promotes a co-ordinated approach to the delivery of environmental education in Northern Ireland. Members include representatives of central and local government, the voluntary sector and the educationalists.

The Forum itself was established in 1995 with the aim of enhancing the profile of environmental education in the curriculum and extra-curricular activities. Through providing a forum and network for the exchange of information on environmental education, by encouraging co-operative working amongst those involved in its delivery and by promoting the role of environmental education in delivery of many core and non-core curriculum subjects, the Forum plays an important role in enhancing environmental education provision.

Northern Ireland Environment Link (NIEL) acts as the secretariat to the Environmental Education Forum. NIEL is a company limited by guarantee (NI34988) and is recognised as a charity by the Inland Revenue (XR19598)

The EEF is managed by a Management Committee, elected annually at the AGM, and consists of 15 representatives from the Statutory and Voluntary sectors. The Committee meets five times per year to discuss operational matters and plan members' activities and publications.

The Forum has one full time member of staff, who co-ordinates the activities and oversees the development of the Forum. The current EEF co-ordinator is Mr. Andy Griggs

The EEF is core funded by the Environment and Heritage Service and receives some contributions from its membership through their subscriptions.
