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.

Focus Areas

Task Forces have been designed to operate as volunteer networks that will lead to independent initiatives. Task Forces will be focused on developing a network and promoting activities in one of the following areas: Business, Education, the Media, Religion, the United Nations and Youth. The ECI Council executive committee will approve appointment of the leadership team for each Task Force. Task Forces will involve council members, individuals and organization partners, affiliates or advisors. The ECI Council will also periodically review the progress and work of each Task Force. However, the ECI Council and the ECI Secretariat will not direct and manage the work of the Task Forces. The Secretariat will provide some basic services in support of the Task Forces.
