Mission

The mission of the Earth Charter Initiative is to promote the transition to sustainable ways of living and a global society founded on a shared ethical framework that includes respect and care for the community of life, ecological integrity, universal human rights, respect for diversity, economic justice, democracy, and a culture of peace.

The Spanish Ministry of Education is using the Earth Charter


Fundación Valores (Values Foundation), Earth Charter Affiliate, has signed a collaboration agreement with the Teachers’ Training Institute of the Spanish Ministry of Education to offer teacher training using the Earth Charter as a way to promote values and principles of sustainability through education. The training plan for 2010 will initiate in April, but Fundación Valores had already started the Earth Charter Teachers’ Training last trimester of 2009.

María Pinar Merino, who delivers the course, received at the same time two years ago an specific training in San Jose, Costa Rica with a course about the strategic vision of the Earth Charter, organized by Amana-Key and the Earth Charter Center of Education for Sustainable Development at UPEACE.
