Activity

IED/LEAD-China takes as a goal to empower all the environment stakeholders and general public, especially disadvantaged groups. We aim to create platform for free and equal dialogue, negotiation and participation in search of the path for the sustainable development. We are committed to the capacity building exercise through education, research, and information & knowledge dissemination applying information and communication technology (ICT).

Education emphasizes leadership development. It aims at bringing up a new generation of leaders with the vision of, the commitment to, and the ability of implementing sustainable development strategy. We believe that sustainable development would not be achieved without them who have the capacity of creatively meeting the challenges and resolving dilemmas or problems associated to the livelihoods of the human beings. Leadership development means building and enhancing such capacity through training and experiential learning of young potential leaders from different sectors of the society.

Research & Developmentfocuses on developing new institutional arrangement at various levels, that integrates environment protection into development strategy and that encourages participation of all stakeholders, especially disadvantaged groups, in decision making and implementation process. Our experiment efforts aim at improving the governance of the society that is sensitive, inclusive, transparent and effective. We believe that sustainable development can only be achieved through institutional innovation in such a direction.

Information disseminationaims at enhancing the public access to environment information and knowledge. We believe that knowledge and information play a critical role in fundamentally changing attitudes of human beings toward the sustainability. IED/LEAD-China applies information and communication technology (ITC) as an effective tool to develop and disseminate information and knowledge to empower the public and support Chinese environment NGOs in their capacity building exercises.
