It is supported by a consortium of fourteen sponsoring organisations and seven research organisations.

ECN's objectives are: to establish and maintain a selected network of sites within the UK from which to obtain comparable long-term datasets through the monitoring of a range of variables identified as being of major environmental importance; to provide for the integration and analysis of these data, so as to identify natural and man-induced environmental changes and improve understanding of the causes of change; to distinguish short-term fluctuations from long-term trends, and predict future changes; to provide, for research purposes, a range of representative sites with good instrumentation and reliable environmental information.
