Earth Charter Meeting in the Netherlands
An Earth Charter meeting will take place on 1 and 2 December, 2008 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands at the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) and is being organized by NCDO and Earth Charter International.
The purpose of this meeting is to raise the profile of the Earth Charter, offer a space to dialogue about the role of the Earth Charter in helping to address the key challenges we face today, as well as make it part of the Celebrations of 60th Anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights and the International Year of Planet Earth.
Such occasion will gather members of the Earth Charter Commission, Earth Charter Council members, Affiliates from Europe, members of the Earth Charter Youth Initiative and some special guests who may join the Earth Charter Initiative in our strategy of decentralized empowerment and reaching out to the wider community.

Dear Friends,
I do think that it will be helpful to put together in one booklet:
*the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
.the Earth Charter
*the Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities
*Declaration toward a Global Ethic.
With kind regards,

Dear Earth Charter friends, all I have to say is that the meeting was amazing! Many thanks to the Earth Charter to give us, the youth, the opportunity to participate. It was fantastic to get to know so many people that are for a long time involved with the EC and/or have participated of its creation. I was very much amazed and I feel filled up with new energy and enthusiasm. Thank you!
