The NCECA Green Task Force is an initiative of the National Council for the Education of the Ceramic Arts (NCECA), established in 2008 to promote environmental stewardship across ceramic art and education. It shares knowledge about environmental issues affecting the field and provides a forum for discussion of greener studio practices and practical creative solutions. Its work spans NCECA administration, conference activities, and outreach to members.

The task force also supports the Green Learning Community, a group formed by NCECA in 2021. Makers, artisans, craftspeople, distributors, collectors, and educators meet monthly to discuss sustainability, materials consumption, and environmental stewardship in ceramics. Through its educational resources, community gatherings, and member collaboration, the initiative helps people consider how ceramic studios and institutions can reduce waste and use materials more thoughtfully. It brings together artists, teachers, students, and ceramic professionals to encourage informed choices and shared responsibility. Rather than selling products, the Green Task Force offers a platform for learning, conversation, and exchange focused on making ceramic practice more environmentally conscious.
