Environmental destruction goes beyond national borders. So does our commitment. Since 1989 we have been the German partner organisation in the global Friends of the Earth network. Together with 71 other independent environmental organisations we take a worldwide stand against the exploitation of nature and the environment. The Friends of the Earth network stretches from Denmark (Noah) and Poland (Polski Klub Ecologiczny) to Spain (Amigos de la Tierra), from Malaysia (Sahabat Alam Malaysia) to Japan (Chikyu no Tomo), from the USA to Argentina, from Mauritius (Maudesco) to South Africa (Ground Work). And our network continues to grow as environmental organisations all over the world strengthen their collaboration driven by the need to achieve ecological justice and nature conservation on a global level.

We make a strong and committed stand on the political stage, and aside from campaigning for climate protection we also demand ecological justice. Friends of the Earth act as a counterbalance to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and powerful multinational corporations. Our core task in the coming years is to prioritise ecological and social issues in globalisation and to achieve equitable solutions for people and nature. Our assets are our members, supporters and friends. Every single person can help to make the Friends of the Earth network grow further through their personal commitment.
