NGOs and Social Movements preparing for the Summit
The G8-Platform is a pool of now about 40 organisations, mainly of environmental and development backgrounds.
Their joint goal is to prepare mutual activities and events around the G8-summit in June 2007 in Heiligendamm,
Germany.
The platform aims to serve as coordination and information base for all summit activities.
Work started in January 2006. Since then the platform, which is meeting on a regular basis,
has been expanding. Interested organisations are welcome to join.
Several teams and groups have evolved from the meetings organising cultural events, the rally,
the alternative summit, action days and camps. As the platform's contribution we offer
a
series of conferences dealing with important issues around the G8.
This website is the international service website of the G8 NGO Platform.
The idea is to offer help to those trying to find their way around the jungle of websites, activities and
organisations around the 2007 summit, but also to present the activities
of the platform.
We are not the only group in German Civil Society preparing for the 2007
summit. There is a range of websites concerning G8 2007, some of them
at least partly in English. We have prepared a link list of other groups
and organisations working on G8 2007. We also offer a
list of links to official government websites concerning G8.
