The EcoFair Trade Dialogue is a project of the Heinrich-Boell-Foundation in co-operation with Misereor and facilitated by the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy. The project is jointly financed by the organizers with help from the German Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) and the German Federal Ministry of Economic Co-Operation (BMZ).

 

About the organizers:

The Heinrich Böll Foundation, affiliated with the Green Party and headquartered in the Hackesche Höfe in the heart of Berlin, is a legally independent political foundation working in the spirit of intellectual openness. The Foundation's primary objective is to support political education both within Germany and abroad, thus promoting democratic involvement, socio-political activism, and cross-cultural understanding. The Foundation also provides support for art and culture, science and research, and developmental co-operation. Its activities are guided by the fundamental political values of ecology, democracy, solidarity, and non-violence.

 

The Wuppertal Institute explores and develops models, strategies and instruments to support sustainable development at local, national and international level. Sustainability research at the Wuppertal Institute focuses on ecology and its relation to economy and society. Special emphasis is put on analysing and supporting technological and social innovations that decouple prosperity and economic growth from the use of natural resources.
