EuroMed Award Finalist 2010
We pleased to inform you that this year EuroMed Award goes to Friends of the Earth Middle East (ISR/PAL/JOR). FoEME is a unique organization that brings together Jordanian, Palestinian, and Israeli environmentalists. Its primary objective is the promotion of cooperative efforts to protect shared environmental heritage. It seeks to advance both sustainable regional development and the creation of necessary conditions for lasting peace in the region. FoEME has offices in Amman, Bethlehem, and Tel-Aviv, and is a member of Friends of the Earth International, the largest grassroots environmental organization in the world. FoEME is both an advocacy organization, conducting trans-boundary research projects and publishing joint reports and position papers, as well as a grass-roots organization promoting cross border dialogue. All of FoEME's trans-boundary projects include Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian youth, adults, researchers, mayors and municipal representatives in community work with all working together to foster platforms for dialogue to promote environmental sustainability and peace. FoEME's three co-Directors were honoured by TIME Magazine as Environmental Heroes of 2008. FoEME received a UNDP/UNEP SEED Finalist Award in 2008 and in 2009 was granted the prestigious Jeff Skoll Award for social entrepreneurship.
