Welcome to the Management Committee webpages! The Management Committee (also known just as “the MC”) is the team of people who oversee all the work that the People & Planet does and tries to keep the organisation working in the best interests of the network.
This is your portal to finding out all about the MC — who we are, what we’re currently doing, and how you can get involved. Read about How We Work to find out more about how the MC works for, and is democratically involved, in the network. Read the Meetings Minutes And Papers for past and upcoming meetings and find out about our Current Work. It’s a good idea to check here regularly, and watch out for announcements in People & Planet’s communications, to find out about which consultations we’re currently running on our work, so that you, as part of the network, can continue to be involved in how People & Planet is run.
