About EarthAction
THE CHALLENGE
The interrelated global problems of environmental degradation, poverty, war and the abuse of human rights threaten the future of everyone on earth. Yet most governments and corporations continue with business as usual, as if they haven`t noticed. We have the knowledge, and the resources, to solve these problems. All that is lacking is the will.
The impulse for globally responsible policies among both governments and corporations must come, in the end, from the world`s people. We need to generate a tidal wave of public opinion around the planet that
cannot be ignored. And today we have a new tool to help make this possible. The Internet is revolutionizing the potential for ordinary people to use their power, as citizens and as consumers, on behalf of a more just, sustainable and democratic world.
EARTHACTION’S GOAL
EarthAction’s goal is to mobilize growing numbers of people around the world to press their governments [or sometimes corporations] for stronger action to solve global problems.
EARTHACTION’S STRATEGY
EarthAction’s strategy is to create a global action alert network — a kind of Amnesty International for the planet — made up of individuals, groups and legislators who are prepared to act together on global problems. We devote particular attention to the challenge of building a more democratic and effective UN system to help solve those problems.
The EarthAction network already includes more than 1,900 citizen groups in 161 countries, two thirds of them in developing countries, together with hundreds of legislators and thousands of individual citizens. In addition, several hundred journalists around the world have subscribed to receive our media materials.
