Les Amis de la Terre
This environmental association focuses primarily on ecological education, based on the appraisal that the degradation of our natural environment is the consequence of the mode of development promoted in Western societies. It is illusionary to think of solving our environmental ills without changing the economic, political and cultural mechanisms that contribute to the environment’s devastation. This is why the association places a particular interest on the consequences our daily actions have on the environment and strives to educate people in order to have them reflect about our lifestyles and adapt them accordingly.
Inter-Environnement- Wallonie
Inter-Environnement Wallonie is a federation of environmental associations active in the French-speaking region of Belgium. The federation advises and supports its member associations and coordinates their activities. Although anchored in local realities, the federation’s work is inscribed within the global context, looking at the challenges our societies face today. The federation fights for a sustainable kind of development, for livable urban centers and for the preservation of our environment.
Pacte Ecologique Belge
