Sustainable development

Der norwegische Solidaritätsausschuss für Lateinamerika

The Forum Globales Lernen in Bayern (global learning in Bavaria) is a merger of various Bavarian institutions (educational institutions, associations, and civil society organisations). It is established at Eine Welt Netzwerk Bayern e. V. (one world network Bavaria, a registered association), i.e. the Bavarian regional network of non-governmental organisations, World Shops, and local North-South-Forums.

Since 1990 the society has operated a programme of cooperation with environmental and conservationist organizations in the Third World, entitled The Environmental Movement that is Changing the World. The programme comprises support for and interchanges with Third World organizations working for the sustainable utilisation of natural resources. Within Sweden, the society works for the dissemination of information on environmental and development issues, etc. The SSNC is also cooperating with NGOs in Central and Eastern Europe. In focus for the cooperation are transport, energy, forest, water and green consumerism. Local twinning between local groups is an important part of the cooperation.
