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.

LGM's main activities include:

  • the protection of the Baltic Sea and its catchments;

  • 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;

Description of the Organization

For over 30 years, INKOTA has been an ecumenical network of development-oriented grassroots organizations, parishes, fair-trade stores, and individuals.
We align ourselves with the worldwide movement of the critics of globalization and therefore, work for a world in which the human needs and interests of all people count more than the economic interests of a privileged group. Hereby we link our support for our partner groups in the South with public awareness building vis-a-vis development issues in Germany.
