Abstract
Following the launch of the Earth Charter in 2000, agreement was reached that the first goal of the Earth Charter Initiative should be “to promote the dissemination, endorsement, and implementation of the Earth Charter by civil society, business, and government.” During the next two years, the Secretariat concentrated its efforts on widely sharing the Earth Charter and seeking endorsement from individuals and organizations in different fields. First, the Earth Charter was widely circulated among the existing network of organizations and individuals that had participated in the consultation process and who were requested to help disseminate and seek endorsement. Volunteer Earth Charter Focal Points in 54 countries helped to disseminate it. A number of events were undertaken to raise awareness and support of the Earth Charter. Some of these events were organized by the Secretariat, in partnership with another organization, and others were organized independently from the Secretariat. On other occasions, the Earth Charter theme was added to the agenda of ongoing events. These events have generated support for the Charter. Sometimes, exposure to the Earth Charter at an event prompted others to share the Charter at subsequent meetings in other arenas as well.
