The German Forum on Envrionment & Development was founded on December 12th 1992 after the UN conference on Environment and Development (“Rio“). Its purpose is to coordinate German NGOs in international political processes on sustainable development.
The NGO Forum on Environment and Development maintains contacts with organizations from developing countries and organizes with international organizations for joint actions. It supervises the international work that continues to run at UN level after on environment and development.
One of its main purposes is to make the German public aware of the connection between environment and development and to insist on a change of the current wasteful economy and lifestyle of industrial countries since they deprive millions of people, especially in southern countries, of the basis of their existence.
The Forum’s Steering Committee represents the involved environmental and developmental organizations and politically leads the Forum. The directors represent their attitudes and demands towards governmental institutions and the public.
The Forum is funded by the Federal Environment Ministry. Legal entity is the German League for Nature and Environment (DNR).
Fern is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) and a Dutch Stichting created in 1995 to keep track of the European Union’s involvement in forests and coordinate NGO activities at the European level. Our work centres on forests and forest peoples’ rights and the issues that affect them such as trade and investment and climate change. All of our work is done in close collaboration with social and environmental organisations and movements across the world. The name Fern was chosen because ferns are one of the few species that grow in all forests.
Fern has no director and strives to make decisions by consensus. This drives our way of working which is to open rather than occupy space for dialogue on the issues that affect forests and the environment.
Fern has staffed offices in Brussels, Belgium, Moreton-in-Marsh, UK and an administrative office in Delft, the Netherlands.
Fern seeks a world in which environmental, social and economic justice is fully integrated at all levels and people have a voice in decisions affecting their lives and livelihoods.
Fern’s mission is to achieve greater environmental and social justice, focusing on forests and forest peoples’ rights in the policies and practices of the European Union.
In striving to achieve its mission, Fern aims to be:
Collaborative: We are part of a global movement working for human rights and environmental justice. The individuals and organisations with whom we collaborate are partners and our relationship with them is mutually beneficial.
Evidence-based: Our positions and campaigns are based on active research.
Independent: Fern has a diverse funding base, meaning that our workplans are not tied to individual funders’ philosophies or public perceptions.
Challenging: Fern persistently questions established thinking about what can and can’t be achieved and responds positively with pro-active ways forward.
Inclusive: Both internally and externally we strive for transparent, consultative decision-making.

Dynamic, nimble and effective, the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) is working to secure a world where natural habitats and environments can sustain, and be sustained by, the communities that depend upon them for their basic needs and livelihoods.
At EJF’s core is a simple but powerful belief: we all depend on the natural environment for our livelihoods and well-being, and that environmental security is a basic human right.
For millions of people around the world, environmental degradation means hunger, poverty and vulnerability.
From the loss of natural forests to the destruction of our oceans and climate change, it is the most vulnerable, marginalised and disempowered communities that bear the brunt. Communities without a voice.
We’re working with, and for, those on the frontlines of environmental destruction to investigate, document and expose environmental and human rights abuses.
We take local fights to the very heart of governments and business across the world to secure lasting, global change in our four campaign areas.
Our dedicated team of researchers and campaigners works across the globe, in some of the world’s toughest and most remote countries to shine an international spotlight on the environmental and human rights abuses that too often go under the radar.
Founded by Steve Trent and Juliette Williams in the UK in 2000, EJF currently has 30 members of staff, with teams in Cote d'Ivoire, Germany, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, South Korea, Spain, Thailand and the UK; our programmes operate across the European Union, Asia and West Africa and as well as in the USA and at a global level.

DOOR is a civil society organization of experts devoted to the promotion of sustainable energy development, founded in 2003. Today DOOR has more than 50 members, five members Steering Committee and seven employees.
We have successfully implemented more than 75 projects with goals ranging from climate change mitigation, encouraging citizens’ participation in sustainable energy policy-making, improving education about renewable energy sources and alleviating energy poverty. Within our projects we organized more than hundred workshops, round tables, trainings, conferences and other public events attended by several thousand participants, we published a dozen manuals, organized a number of study trips and established continuous cooperation with numerous organizations from Croatia and abroad. You can find a full list of our references here.
We work to create greater awareness of issues concerning sexuality, pregnancy, contraceptive methods and sexually transmitted diseases.
We are committed to ensure that health and sex education are recognised worldwide as human rights, irrespective of age, gender, religion, marital or social status.
The Danish Family Planning Association also helps raising health standards and ensure easy access to affordable and safe contraceptive methods to improve people's sexual well-being.
Creating a world in which everybody can enjoy or exercise their full sexual and reproductive health and rights is vital for our work. This requires openness and knowledge about sexuality, and therefore we are advocates for open dialogue, tolerance and education.
We believe that women should have the right to freely decide whether or when to have children. This entails access to safe contraceptive methods, knowledge and good counselling - elements that form a natural part of all of the work strategies of the Danish Family Planning Association.
The Danish Family Planning Association is a private, non-governmental organisation (NGO) without religious or political affiliations. We work with associations and organisations within the sphere of sexual and reproductive health and rights. The Danish Family Planning Association is a member of the world's leading family planning organsation, the International Planned Parenthood Federation, IPPF.
