WEO stands for positive change through action. We investigate, expose and confront environmental abuse by governments and corporations around the world. We champion environmentally responsible and socially just solutions, including scientific and technological innovation.
We are part of a truly global campaigning movement. We are working together with hundreds of people around the world. From India to Australia, from Florida to Vancouver, from Arizona to London, San Francisco, Ireland, China, Germany, France, Belgium, Norway, Japan, Oklahoma, Philippines, South Korea, The Netherlands, Italy, Spain, …
Globally, our priority campaigns are the prevention of climate change, the protection of the world’s ancient forests and defending our oceans from the threat of over exploitation.
Currently, we are organized on a bottom-up manner whereby international, local chapters and individual members in a democratic process, determine policy. The embodiment is, therefore, partly geographically divided.
WEO is already known in all of these green countries.
To achieve our goals we use different strategies like par example:
• Lobby by focusing on the influence of administrative power centers.
• Information and education: Informal, in the world as such; the transmission of values and accumulated knowledge of a society and its components. It is about manners and principles by which one acts publicly and socially.
This relates to all forms of systematic and structured learning activities related to nature, ecology, environment, landscape and sustainability. Often, the underlying idea that familiarity and knowledge of this will lead to greater involvement, respect, nature and environmental friendly actions and thus will lead to sustainability and liveability of society. Methods used are: campaigns, websites, social media, lectures, etc. We do not use print media or magazines and periodicals because of course that's not good for the environment. • Action by demonstrations
