In 1999 a Belarusian National Earth Charter group was formed, and in the same year the first Earth Charter National Meeting was held in Belarus, led by the Division of the International Academy of Ecology. Dr. Eugene Shirokov, president of the Habitat Center has been leading advocate for the creation of the National Earth Charter Committee and the National Council for Sustainable Development. Since then the National Earth Charter Committee has organized several Earth Charter meetings on sustainable development, the Earth Charter ethical framework for education and, particularly, its role in building up capacity in Belorussian civil society.

There is one Earth Charter Youth Group in Belarus, called ECYG Youth International Club "NEWLINE". They joined the Earth Charter Youth network in August 2007. NEWLINE's mission is to introduce Earth Charter principles and values to Belarusian non-governmental and state youth organizations, schools and individual young people, as well as promote cooperation between them for sustainable development and democratization in Belarus.
