Description of Organization:
The MEDITERRANEAN SOS Network (MedSOS) is a Greek environmental NGO which was founded in 1990 and has since been active for the protection of the environment and the promotion of sustainable development at the national and Euro-Mediterranean level. To achieve its objectives, the organization works on a vast array of environmental issues ranging from Water Resources Management to Energy & Climate Change, Marine and Coastal Environment and many others.

Through informative campaigns, volunteer and environmental education programs, public events, online publications, social media, collaborations on a local, national and regional level, as well as a variety of national and EU projects (e.g. INTERREG, MED, LIFE, GRUNDTVIG, Europe For Citizens, etc.), MedSOS aims to:

• Raise public awareness, inform and encourage change in citizens' -especially youth- everyday behavior that has an impact on the environment.
• Advocate, lobby and promote cooperation among social partners, stakeholders and policy-makers on a local, national and regional level.
• Promote active public participation in sustainable development strategies and demonstrate alternative solutions and good practices in local communities.
• Promote intercultural exchanges and balanced international cooperation among European and Mediterranean partners.

MedSOS supports a multisectoral approach on sustainable development through networking and communication with scientists, experts, regional and local authorities, professional unions and the media. It is a UNEP/MAP Partner organization and also a member of the following international organizations and networks: European Environmental Bureau (EEB), European Union for Coastal Conservation (EUCC), Mediterranean Information Office for Environment, Culture and Sustainable Development (MIO-ECSDE); International Network for Sustainable Energy (INFORSE), Climate Action Network (CAN), Anna Lindh Foundation and the Water Footprint Network (WFN).
