Estonian Green Movement

The Estonian Green Movement (EGM), founded in 1988, is a non-profit organization dedicated to environmental protection. EGM’s objectives include awareness-raising and advocacy work among policymakers, private sector, and the public, including people’s right to hold companies responsible for their environmentally harmful actions; advocating for the interests and voices of affected communities and involving them in decision-making; and empowering citizens to tackle the environmental problems in their communities. EGM aims to reinforce societal transformation towards a fair and sustainable way of living to ensure a livable environment for future generations. The organisation currently focuses on three areas: 1) energy and climate 2) phosphorite mining and mineral resources 3) economy and consumption.
