Climate Action Network
"The Climate Action Network (CAN) is a global network
of over 287 Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs) working to promote government
and individual action to limit human-induced climate change to ecologically
sustainable levels. CAN members work to achieve this goal through the coordination
of information exchange and NGO strategy on international, regional and national
climate issues. CAN has seven regional coordinating offices which co-ordinate
these efforts in Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, Europe, Latin America,
North America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Diverse environmental organizations
from around the globe, ranging from large international groups such as World
Wildlife Fund (WWF), Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, to small local groups
in developing countries such as Terre Vivante in Mauritania and the Green Coalition
in the Philippines, work collaboratively within CAN.
CAN members place a high priority on both a healthy environment
and development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (Brundtland
Commission). Climate Action Network's vision is to protect the atmosphere while
allowing for sustainable and equitable development worldwide."
