Sustainable Development Goal 6

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.
