Earth Charter International has published the updated and comprehensive Earth Charter Initiative Handbook, available here.

Of special interest is section VI. ECI Strategies and Focal Areas, which details the new strategy for "decentralized empowerment for scaling up," specifically through the formation of Task Forces in Business, Education, Media, Religion, the United Nations, and Youth. Have a look for yourself - download and read the Earth Charter Initiative Handbook.
