The Heinz Center is a think-tank that provides scientific and economic information on key environmental issues that enjoy bipartisan support. The Heinz Center is a nonpartisan, nonprofit institution dedicated to improving the scientific and economic foundation for environmental policy through multisectoral collaboration.  The Center fosters collaboration among industry, environmental organizations, academia, and all levels of government in each of its program areas and projects. It uses scientific and economic analyses to develop viable options to solving problems, and its findings and recommendations are widely disseminated to public and private sector decision makers, the scientific community, and the public. The active involvement of high-level decision makers in government and industry, as well as of leading academic researchers and environmental activists enables the Center to make a unique contribution to environmental policymaking. The Center's work currently focuses on three strategic areas: Environmental Reporting; Global Change; and Sustainable Oceans, Coasts, and Waterways.
