The Geneva based Zoï Environment Network is an international non-profit organization. Its mission is to reveal, explain and communicate connections between the environment and society. Zoï is specialized in analyzing ("know") and communicating ("tell") frictions between the environment and society, and hereby eventually contributing to resolving them ("act"). Water shortages, industrial legacies and potential impacts of climate change are examples where an environmental problem can become a security issue. Zoï designs creative information products for decision-making and provides assistance to local, regional and national authorities, corporations and individuals who are ready to find solutions to these complex environmental challenges. While Zoï's geographic focus is on Europe's margins and its neighbours (the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Mediterranean), it strives to link regional and local issues to the global environmental agenda.
