2. The Danish Ecological Council
•
DEC is a green member based NGO working for sustainable development
•
DEC is specialised in working at a high level of expertize
•
We write proposals and debate booklets in order to inform and spur
understanding and environmental positive actions
•
We have a positive dialogue with other actors, such as ministries,
parliamentarians, experts and advisors, individual companies, other ngo’s,
industry and energy organisations etc.
•
We work with understanding of the basic problems and solutions
and work to influence the debate as early in the process as possible
•
And we are definitely not afraid of agreeing with our “opponents”
