He Ping and International Fund for China’s Environment (IFCE)-Washington DC

The International Fund for China’s Environment (IFCE) is an international environmental organization based in WashingtonDC, with branch offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan. Founded in 1996 by a group of scientists and professionals concerned with China’s environmental problems, IFCE aims to ensure a healthy global environment and continued economic development by helping China solve its environmental problems.

Since its founding, IFCE has developed a range of influential programs facilitating partnerships and building capacity in China’s environmental movement. Specifically, we work with companies and other NGO’s to improve China’s access to green information technology, with policy makers to influence China’s environmental policy, and with grassroots environmental organizations and environmental education programs to improve Chinese peoples’agency in the environmental movement.

In 2002, IFCE was named one of several significant global environmental organizations by the United Nations. IFCE has been able to play a significant role in protecting the environment because of its numerous experts in the natural and social sciences. Our staff not only have a profound understanding of Chinese culture, they also have many professional connections within China.

Our Objectives:

  1. Promote the development, use, and popularity of new environmental technologies in China.
  2. Facilitate bilateral and multilateral cooperation among NGOs, governments, and corporations in solving environmental problems.
  3. Influence government actions on environmental restoration and resource conservation programs.
  4. Develop a program for public environmental education.
  5. Contribute to an increasing global awareness of the interrelations between environmental problems and human well-being.
