The Earth Charter Initiative is the collective name for the extraordinarily diverse, global network of people, organizations, and institutions who participate in promoting the Earth Charter, and in implementing its principles in practice. The Earth Charter is an authoritative synthesis of values, principles, and aspirations that are widely shared by growing numbers of people, in all regions of the world. The principles of the Earth Charter reflect extensive international consultations conducted over a period of many years. These principles are also based upon contemporary science, international law, and the insights of philosophy and religion. Successive drafts of the Earth Charter were circulated around the world for comments and debate by nongovernmental organizations, community groups, professional societies, and international experts in many fields.  The Initiative is a broad-based, voluntary, civil society effort, but participants include leading international institutions, national government agencies, university associations, NGOs, cities, faith groups, and many well-known leaders in sustainable development.  For more information, visit the Earth Charter web site.

ECOLOGIA is a Vermont-based organization whose programs bring international perspectives and resources to local sustainable development projects, and bring locally based "on the ground" experience back to the world of international decision making.  Its programs combine a practical focus on local projects with direct involvement in international policy-making arenas in the belief that local leaders create the best, most sustainable long-term solutions to problems, and that this local experience should shape the development of national and international decisions.  ECOLOGIA works by creating direct people-to-people connections. By linking individuals to one another, it fosters the emergence of a global civil society — a worldwide network of individuals and organizations sharing common interests, information, and resources.  With staff, colleagues, and partners around the globe, ECOLOGIA is building global connections to create civil society and support sustainable development initiatives.  For more information, visit the ECOLOGIA web site.
