About the Voluntary Organisation:
Friends of the Earth Malta
FoEM has been active in the environmental field in Malta since 1985. Originally created under the name of Żgħażagħ Għall-Ambjent, it was founded with the intention of consolidating various youth and environmental groups in the country, which quickly developed into a committee of activists. In 1991, the group joined the international network of Friends of the Earth International which includes groups from 75 countries and 6 continents, making it the World’s largest grassroots environmental network.
We campaign on some of today’s most pressing environmental and social issues, by engaging the public directly through a wide range of diverse projects and activities. Friends of the Earth Malta creates and participates in vibrant campaigns, raises awareness on a number of pertinent national and international issues, and mobilises people to participate in decision making processes.
In addition, our organisation strives to provide creative solutions that are based on sound knowledge and information, especially through the promotion of alternatives to certain environmental behaviours. And in keeping to our activist roots, Friends of the Earth Malta continuously lobbies, mobilises, and influences the policy community towards a more just and sustainable society.
