A one-of-a-kind organization

Europe-ENVIROCOM is not merely an environmental group. It is a one-of-a-kind organization in Europe since it targets not only the environment but also communications in this field. Which strategies have been developed? Which ones are promising? What kind of approach and precautions have been adopted in the communications' process? What are useful vehicles and messages for contributing to the awareness-raising of the general public? Acquiring knowledge on and controlling the communications' process are essential to the functioning of our democratic systems.

Statutes

The organization has a European-wide mandate. It has been established in Neuchatel, Switzerland, where it was conceived and founded, in 1994, upon the initiative of the Cantonal Environmental Unit.

Animators

Being an autonomous organization, it is run by a Committee. Europe-ENVIROCOM mandates third
parties - specialists in the field - to carry out their activities.

Financial resources

For every event, it is necessary to raise funds, approximately 100'000 Swiss Francs, before both public (the Swiss Confederation and local administrations) and private (Swiss and European) sponsors. This partnership between the public and private sectors has turned out to be essential for ensuring a certain level of continuity.
