About [Edit]
The Earth Charter Initiative is a global movement based on the participation and involvement of thousands of organizations, groups and individuals worldwide. The International Secretariat, its partner organizations, the volunteer National Committees, and the governing bodies of the Secretariat are collectively referred to as the Earth Charter Initiative.
Mission
The mission of the Earth Charter Initiative is, "To establish a sound ethical foundation for the emerging global society and to help build a sustainable world based on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice and a culture of peace."
Goals
To promote the dissemination, endorsement, and implementation of the Earth
Charter by civil society, business, and government.
- To encourage and support the educational use of the Earth Charter.
- To seek endorsement of the Earth Charter by the UN
Overview of Activities:
Earth Charter activities, such as workshops, public events, development of education curricula, and lobbying for political support, are promoted around
the world through the Secretariat, Earth Charter Focal Points, partner
organizations, and individuals.
Each organization and group involved in the Initiative brings a different perspective and approach to the implementation and dissemination of the Earth Charter in national, regional and local community levels. It is the constant involvement, energy and enthusiasm of these groups that fuel the Earth Charter initiative and make it a true civil society process for social
change.

Em todo caso, em alguns projetos e eventos de grande porte, a Carta da terra tem estado presente, representada pelo Instituto Paulo Freire, de São Paulo, principalmente por seus diretores Moacir Gadotti e Ângela Antunes, além de inúmeros colaboradores, como Fábio Cascino, Flávio Boleiz, Gustavo Cherubini, Paulina Crhistov; pelo Núcleo de Amigos da Infância e da Adolescência - do Distrito Federal e Rio Grande do Sul, principalmente por Valéria Vianna;do Grupo de Pesquisa em Educação Ambiental - do Mato Grosso, ligado à universidade Federal do Mato Grosso, principalmente pela Professora Michelle Sato; pela Gabriela Monteiro, Dadal e Tita (Salvador - BA), Instituto Harmonia na Terra (Florianópolis - SC), PROEX-UFU, Flander Calixto e Instituto eMcantar (Uberlândia - MG) e mais uma série de militantes esparramados pelo país.
Falta, ainda, unidade nas ações, otimização nas comunicações e incentivos financeiros para o trabalho conjunto, mas a iniciativa de alguns militantes em especialf, tais como Leonardo Boff e Dr. Motomura, têm ajudado a iluminar as ações em prol da Carta da Terra.
