The ENVforum is advised by a steering committee of representatives from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Secretariat, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the European Environmental Agency (EEA), Earth Council Asia-Pacific, the Regional Institute of Environmental Technology, the International Climate Policy Research Group, Zurich University, DG Environment of the European Commission and KEHATI-the Indonesian Biodiversity Foundation. The Research Centre for Sustainable Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) joined the steering committee in 2005. 

XIAO-TIAN LIANG received his BS degree from the National Central University (China) in 1945 and his PhD degree from the University of Washington at Seattle (USA) in 1951. After postdoctoral work at Harvard University he joined the faculty of the Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. In 1980, he was elected as an Academician of Academia Sinica (Chinese Academy of Sciences) and has served on the advisory editorial boards of Tetrahedron and Tetrahedron Letters, amor g other scientific journals. He coauthored more than 300 scientific papers and reviews, and has written or edited more than ten bcx ks.

Qi Shen received her B.Sc. degree in polymer chemistry from Nankai University in 1962 and her M.Sc. degree in chemistry from Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, in 1966 with Professor Baotong Huang. She then joined the faculty of Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and was promoted to full Professor in 1988. She moved to the Department of Chemistry of Soochow University in 1993. Her current research is focused on organometallic chemistry. 

Tianquan Lian received his BS degree from Xiamen University in 1985, his MS degree from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1988 and his PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 1993. After postdoctoral training in the University of California at Berkeley, he joined the faculty of chemistry department at Emory University in 1996. He was promoted to associate professor in 2002 and full professor in 2005. He has been a recipient of the NSF CAREER award and the Sloan fellowship. His research interest is focused on the ultrafast dynamics of nanomaterials and interfaces. He is particularly interested in fundamental physical chemistry problems related to nanomaterials-based solar energy conversion concepts and devices. These problems include the dynamics of electron transfer, energy transfer, vibrational energy relaxation and solvation at interfaces and in nanomaterials. 

Wei Zhao obtained his BS in chemistry (1999) from Shandong University and his Ph.D. in environmental chemistry (2005) from the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences (RCEES), Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is currently an associate professor in the College of Pharmacy at Nankai University, China. His research interests include gly-coscience with an emphasis on carbohydrate chemistry, glycopharmaceutical science, carbohydrate-based vaccines, drugs and immunotherapy, as well as the structural and mechanism-based design and synthesis of inhibitors and ligands.
