International Federation of Environmental Journalists (IFEJ)

The IFEJ is a network and international association founded in
1993 on the initiative of French and German environmental journalists,
with the participation of journalists from 28 countries.
Today,
it has members, correspondents and/or member associations in
more than 117 countries around the world. Directly and indirectly,
this network includes around 7500 journalists associated with
every type of medium, scientific authors, filmmakers, etc.
The mission of IFEJ is to improve public understanding of environment
and sustainable development issues worldwide by supporting environmental
journalists internationally through networking, training and
promoting free access to information.
Objectives :
- To identify and contact every national
environmental journalists' organization and individual environmental
journalists
and involve them in IFEJ activities.
- To reach out to parts of the world where
national environmental journalists' organizations do not exist
and assist colleagues
in these countries to establish such organizations.
- To support environmental journalists worldwide who are censored,
imprisoned or harrassed for reporting about environmental
issues.
- To work in partnership with other institutions in organizing
workshops, training seminars, bringing out publications and
promoting other
activities, which fulfill the IFEJ mission.
