We focus on four program areas: climate justice and energy, forests and biodiversity, food sovereignty, and economic justice. Our vision is of a peaceful and sustainable world based on societies living in harmony with nature.

FoEI’s decentralized and democratic structure allows all member groups to participate in decision-making.

Between meetings governance is provided by an elected Executive Committee made up of representatives from our groups. A small International Secretariat in Amsterdam supports the member groups, campaigns, programs and other activities of the federation through fundraising, campaign coordination, trainings, communications and information management.
