Centre for Environment Education (CEE)

I have found an NGO, Centre for Environment Education (CEE), which is doing a march ahead in the direction of educating the people on how to protect its environment.
Today, CEE works for a wide range of sectors, target groups and geographical areas. CEE sees a major opportunity in the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-14) to further contribute towards sustainable development.

They have a grants program ie Small Grants Programme (SGP), funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), seeks to support initiatives, which demonstrate community-based innovative, gender sensitive approaches and lessons learned from other development projects in order to reduce threats to the local and global environment.
SGP is administered by the UNDP and the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF), Government of India. It is being implemented by Centre for Environment Education (CEE) as the National Host Institution (NHI) since September 2000.

The areas in which the work by local/global bodies is supported :
Biodiversity conservation
Climate Change Mitigation
Protection of International Waters
Prevention of Land Degradation
Phasing out Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)

Under the SGP program the financial support is also provided, depending on the project report.
