The NATO Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society (NATO/CCMS) was a scientific research committee created in 1969 by the North Atlantic Council to study environmental problems of various nations, and the quality of life of their people.[1]

US President Richard Nixon had suggested on NATOs twentieth anniversary to install the new body to work on the environment.[2] NATO/CCMS is now part of the general NATO science program, NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS)[1]
