The Lithuanian Green Movement
(LGM) was established by national
environmental clubs, groups and activists in
1988. LGM coordinates the activities and
exchanges information between some 500
members all over Lithuania.
As the first post-Soviet environmental NGO
in Lithuania, LGM played a significant role
in the democratization process and in raising
public awareness and participation on
environmental issues in Lithuania. Today, LGM
is one of the country's most active
environmental NGOs, with the main strategies
of influencing public policy, increasing
public participation and raising public
awareness about environment protection and
sustainable development.
LGM's main activities include:
-
the protection of the Baltic Sea and
its catchments
-
the conservation of protected
territories and natural landscapes;
-
environmental education and the raising
of public awareness about environment and
sustainable development;
-
energy and environment;
-
transport and environment;
-
monitoring the activities of the
International Financial Institutions in
Lithuania;
-
support for the development and
strengthening of environmental NGOs and
citizen's groups in Lithuania;
-
environmental protection in
general.
LGM publishes a bi-weekly newsletter
called "Green Lithuania".
