*A report of People’s Daily (Overseas)人民日报海外版(the largest official newspaper in China, Nov. 19, 2003, Second Page, translated to English)

Reporter Tao, Shian: The Third NGO Forum on International Environmental Cooperation in China was held in Nov. 18-20 in Renmin University of China. The Forum was jointly organized by Renmin University of China, US-based International Fund for China’s Environment and Global Village of Beijing. More than 400 people from 160 NGOs around the world, Chinese universities and research institutes and others who concerned the environmental problems in China attended.

Te main theme of the Forum was to develop partnerships and promote sustainable development. The goal is to enhance the cooperation of Chinese NGOs with international organizations and NGOs. Through the Forum, the organizers hope to encourage the public participation in environmental protection and enhance the roles of NGOs in social development in China.

Mr. Lester Brown, the president of the Earth Policy Institute, delivered the keynote speech. Prof. Yan, Reizheng of the department of Agricultural Economics of Renmin University, Prof. Wolfgang Sachs of Germany Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Energy and Environment and Ms. Sherri Liao, the president of Global Village of Beijing provided plenary reports. Other NGO representatives, university professors and research scientists reported in the panels.

The Forum attendees addressed 10 main issues in the panel discussion. They include: development environment of NGOs in China, rural development and environmental protection, women, children and environmental education, legal framework of NGOs administration, converting lands to woods in western China, media’s role in environmental protection, watershed management, public participation and sustainable consumption, fundraising strategies, and development of college green groups. The Forum papers covered multi-disciplinary research results and project reports of NGOs in environmental protection.

Since the first Forum held in Washington DC in Sept. 1999, more and more international NGOs have paid attention to the environmental problems in China. Comparing with the first two Forums, there were more grass roots NGOs joining this Forum. It would generate broader impacts in the international community. The Forum marked up a great break-through in global cooperation in environmental protection. It has both practical and theoretical significance.

Ping He: Environmental NGOs Grow Rapidly in China

Washington DC-based International fund for China’s environment (IFCE), Renmin University of China and Global Village of Beijing jointly organized the Third NGO Forum on International Environmental Cooperation in China not long ago in Beijing. Dr. Ping He, the president of IFCE, who just returned to DC, thought that environmental NGOs grew rapidly in China in last two years. Especially, green groups in college emerged as one of the important forces, which would bring the development of environmental NGOs in China to a new stage.

Ping He pointed out that participants of this Forum are more than doubled than last one. More than 400 people, including around 70 leaders of college green groups and 40 from USA, Japan, Norway and Australia, joined the event. People reached a consensus on that building broad partnership is essential on environmental protection and nature conservation in China.

The Forum discussed 10 topics in details. The topics included development environment of NGOs in China, rural development and environmental protection, women, children and environmental education, legal framework of NGOs administration, converting lands to woods in western China, media’s role in environmental protection, watershed management, public participation and sustainable consumption, fundraising strategies, and development of college green groups. The Forum proceedings demonstrated the multi-disciplinary research results and project reports of NGOs in recent years.

As an overseas professional who have concerned about the environmental problems in China for many years, Ping He said, this Forum gained support from the Bureau of Ocean, Environment and Science of the US State Department and Critical Ecological Partnership Fund of Conservation International. The Forum invited Mr. Lester Brown of the Earth Policy Institute, one of IFCE advisors, as the keynote speaker.

Ping He said, the current legal framework for NGOs and the media’s role in environmental protection were the hottest topics in the Forum. Many NGOs believed that the current legal system for NGOs administration is obviously behind the growth of NGOs and need changes as soon as possible. Some pointed out that due to impacts of the market economy, the media coverage on environmental problems have reduced in recent years. This was worrisome. Since college green groups are very active and become one of the important forces in environmental protection, a sub-Forum for this group was held at the Forum for student leaders to share experience and discuss cooperation.
