The purpose of these National Councils has been to focus on grassroots action to build the principles of sustainability into national development plans.

  7. Program The China Initiative: ECA is trying to build links between Chinese sustainability efforts with other areas around the world because they want them to be able to share technical knowledge, fund resources, and deepen global understanding of best practices.They plan on spending at least 50 percent of its energies on sustainability efforts in China.ECA spent four weeks in Beijing and other parts in China to discuss collaborative working relationships with Chinese NGOs and leaders in trying to figure out a way for sustainable development and environment protection in China.

  8. Program Island Nations Climate and Oceans Program Island Nations is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing and supporting sustainable development policies and practices that benefit small island states. Recognizing the traditional knowledge of island peoples, Island Nations will help them strengthen their communication capacity, identify appropriate technologies, and advance their social and economic well-being through programs that will promote sustainable energy, environmental protection, and disaster preparedness. This work will be done by teaming with technology, financial and organizational networks, and always in partnership with the leaders and peoples of the islands themselves.

  9. Success Story The ECA met with and helped Globe Village of China (GVB) – an environmental organization in Beijing – with a project called Green Olympic Action Plan. This plan was promoting collaboration with the Beijing Olympic Committee for the 2008 Games to ensure that activities were environmentally sound and that events actively promoted ecological awareness and environmental harmony. They helped with the funding and provided information and technology. This project was a success because this Olympic had one of the least environmental impacts that any Olympics has had.
