The Lithuanian Green Movement (LGM) was established by national environmental clubs, groups and activists in 1988. LGM coordinates the activities and exchanges information between some 500 members all over Lithuania.

As the first post-Soviet environmental Non_Governmental Organization in Lithuania, LGM played a significant role in the democratization process and in raising public awareness and participation on environmental issues in Lithuania. Today, LGM is one of the country's most active environmental NGOs, with the main strategies of influencing public policy, increasing public participation and raising public awareness about environment protection and sustainable development.

LGM's main activities include:

• the protection of the Baltic Sea and its catchments;
• the conservation of protected territories and natural landscapes;
• environmental education and the raising of public awareness about environment and sustainable development;
• energy and environment;
• transport and environment;
• monitoring the activities of the International Financial Institutions in Lithuania;
• support for the development and strengthening of environmental NGOs and citizen's groups in Lithuania;
• environmental protection in general.

LGM publishes a bi-weekly newsletter called "Green Lithuania"

As Development Education Centre we aim to raise awareness of peace and environment related issues through information and education.

The W3_ is an educational and cultural center around global justice. It offers a platform for encounters and exchange and, with its diverse program of events, encourages critical questioning of social conditions. It invites to inspiration, to experience, to reflection and to common action for a global and local justice.

With lectures, workshops, conferences, symposia, readings, performances as well as film screenings and actions, W3_ establishes the connection between local politics and global developments in series of events, projects as well as individual and cooperative events and motivates people to get involved. With dialogue-oriented/participative formats such as performances and actions in public space, spontaneous interactions with residents of the district are realized, which actively call for participation.

It is important to W3_ to focus on less present voices and alternative perspectives, to make them audible and visible, and to think and link local and global dimensions together. The goal is always to make people think, to provide inspiration and ideas for their own everyday lives, and to show options for action.

The Centre for Energy, Water and Environmental Technology was founded back in 1985. Since then, it has established itself as a practice-oriented service provider in environmental and climate protection issues. It is a contact point for building owners, craftsmen, planners and companies from the Hamburg metropolitan region who want professional support.
