| Description: | ANPED, The Northern Alliance for Sustainability, is a democratic network that links NGOs and voluntary organisations in all parts of the Northern hemisphere, including North America, Western Europe, Central-Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States (CEE-NIS). It was founded in 1990 as the Alliance of Northern People for Environment and Development. The impetus for the network was the preparatory process for UNCED in the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe area. ANPED works to promote sustainable societies worldwide. We do this by supporting grassroots activity and participatory democracy and linking NGOs who share our aims. Our aims are to link activities, exchange information and skills on issues of sustainable development and participatory democracy. ANPED brings together groups working on environment, development and health. Our role is to provide services to our member groups, particularly those in CEE and the NIS. |
