The UNEP/UNESCO/BMU Course program is supervised by an International Steering Committee consisting of representatives from:

• United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)

• United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)

• German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU)

• German Federal Environmental Agency (UBA)

• Technische Universität Dresden (TUD).

The Steering Committee selects the participants for the next course term and suggests the number and topics of courses to be held in the following year.
