Our Story
EcoPeace was founded on December 7, 1994 at a historic meeting in Taba, Egypt, which came about as environmental non-governmental organizations from the Middle East met with the common goal of furthering sustainable development and peace in their region.
For the first time ever, Egyptian, Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian environmentalists agreed to join forces in an effort to promote the integration of environmental considerations into the regional development agenda.
